Bradley stays with the same side

Connacht coach Michael Bradley has taken an 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' approach to Sunday’s European Challenge Cup tie against Newcastle Falcons at Kingston Park by naming an unchanged side.

He said: “Last weekend’s win brought us back into line in the pool. But it is only half-time between Newcastle and ourselves and half-time in the pool itself.”

CONNACHT (v Newcastle): G Duffy; A Wynne, D Yapp, M Deane. O Treviranus; A Dunne, C O'Loughlin; B Wilkinson, A Flavin, R Morris; M Swift, A Farley; M McCarthy, J O'Connor, J. Muldoon.

Replacements: J Fogarty, R Loughney, D Gannon, R Ofisa, C McPhillips, T Donnelly, M. Mostyn.
