Connacht coach Michael Bradley has announced the side to take on Harlequins in the European Challenge Cup at the Stoop on Saturday.

Bradley has named an unchanged back line from that which played Bath Rugby at the Sportsground last Friday.

There are three changes in the forwards with Captain John Fogarty, Ray Ofisa and Ryan Strudwick being called back into the side in place of Adrian Flavin, Colm Rigney and Andrew Farley. Flavin, Rigney and Farley are all named among the replacements.
 
Conor O'Loughlin remains at scrum half in place of Chris Keane, who is named among the replacements. O'Loughlin, who will make his 50th competitive appearance for Connacht at the Stoop on Saturday, has already scored two tries in his six appearances this season and will be looking to add to the six he has scored for Connacht since signing in 2003.
 
To the relief of all at Connacht, over worked physio Gavin Malouf was able to pass four players fit this week from last weeks injured list of eleven. Two of those passed fit are in the squad this week, Ryan Strudwick (starting) and Gavin Williams (bench).
