Roberts, O'Connor, Swift back for Connacht

Winger Mike Roberts, Johnny O'Connor and lock Michael Swift return for Connacht away to Cardiff blues at The Arms Park on Friday evening (7.10pm).

Coach Michael Bradley will have to go in without Gavin Duffy and Andrew Farley and he is confident that others will step up to the mark.

"It gives the guys who did not start last week a chance to put down a marker ahead of the European Challenge Cup campaign," said Michael Bradley.

CONNACHT (v Cardiff): F Carr; A Wynne, J Hearty, M Deane, M Roberts; A Dunne, F Murphy; J Lyne, A Flavin, R Morris; A Browne, M Swift; J Muldoon (Capt), J O'Connor, C Rigney.
