Connacht hoping to take advantage of depleted Ospreys

CONNACHT will face Samoa skipper Filiso Levi in their Magners League clash with the Ospreys at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday (2.15pm).

Fri, 20 Feb, 2009 - 00:00

As Connacht prepare for the match without the injured Michael McCarthy, Levi is ready to make his first start for the Welsh side following a move from Japan.

The unfortunate McCarthy broke a bone in his foot in training earlier in the week, and he will be out of action for 10 weeks.
