Bradley awaiting fitness news on Connacht forwards

Connacht coach Michael Bradley will have to wait on the fitness of forwards John Fogarty, Christian Short and Ray Hogan and three-quarter David Slemen before finalising his squad for the Celtic League away date at Edinburgh at the weekend.

Of lesser concern, are captain Andrew Farley, number eight Colm Rigney and prop Dan McFarland who are thought to be nursing slight knocks from the 13-9 win over Cardiff.
