McCarthy out for Connacht
Connacht will have to plan without flanker Michael McCarthy, who broke a bone in his foot at training, for their Magners League clash with The Ospreys at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday (kick off: 2.15pm).
Daniel Riordan, Conor Muldoon, David Gannon and Mel Deane all return since Connacht beat Dax last time out in January.
