Keatley back for Connacht

Ian Keatley returns to the out-half position for Connacht for their Magner’s League home date with Edinburgh on Friday night.

Full-back Gavin Duffy keeps the captaincy as John Muldoon has failed to recover from injury.

Robbie Morris and Niva Ta’auso also failed late fitness tests and so are unavailable for selection. Former Leinster Academy prop Jamie Hagan will start at tight-head.

CONNACHT (v Edinburgh): G Duffy (capt); B Tuohy, T Nathan, A Wynne, F Carr; I Keatley, F Murphy; B Wilkinson, S Cronin, J Hagan, M Swift, B Upton, M McCarthy, J O’Connor, M McComish.
