Connacht play host to the Cheetahs this evening.

Injuries to fullback Tiernan O'Halloran and prop Paddy McAllister have forced Connacht coach Andy Friend into a couple of enforced changes with four altogether.

Stephen Fitzgerald comes in at full-back, Niyi Adeolokun is introduced on the right wing, with John Porch switching to the left.

Kieran Marmion, who has been linked with a move to Saracens, is named at scrumhalf, while Denis Buckley gets his first start of the season at loose-head prop.
