Five new signings in Connacht squad

There should be a fresh look to Connacht as five of their new signings are included in the squad to play The Ospreys in the opening game of the Magners league at the Sportsground on Friday (kick-off 7pm).

Out-half Miah Nikora, in union with Ian Keatley, will be asked to provide the consistent control and goal-kicking necessary for Connact to improve on lat season's final place finish.
