Little change for Connacht

Keith Matthews moves in from the wing to the centre with Aidan Wynne going the other way as the only positional change to the Connacht side in the opening European Challenge Cup match of the season, away to Brive on Friday night (kick off 7.30pm).

Back row Colm Rigney, who could well become the ninth player to reach a century of caps for the Western Province, will start on the bench.
