Pat Lam sticks with tried and tested for Connacht

Connacht coach Pat Lam is taking nothing for granted after victory over Munster, naming virtually an unchanged side for tonight’s visit of Edinburgh to the Galway Sportsground (7.35pm).

The only change is at out-half where Miah Nikora comes in for Craig Ronaldson, who is undergoing return-to-play protocols for a head knock in Connacht’s 24-16 win over Munster on New Year’s Day.

Aly Muldowney (chest infection) and Tom McCartney (gastric bug) have both recovered to take their places.
