Connacht must do without Matthews

Connacht centre Keith Matthews has been ruled out by injury of their crucial Amlin Challenge Cup match against Worcester Warriors at Sixways on Friday night.

Coach Michael Bradley also has to deal with the doubts over lock Andrew Browne, utility back Troy Nathan, openside Johnny O'Connor and prop Jamie Hagan.

On the positive side, Bradley has confirmed that new signing Georgr Naoupu will be available for selection.
