The Westerners are currently 11th in the table but a victory over their interprovincial rivals could propel them into the top eight.

Connacht began this season with a disappointing 36-10 defeat at the Kingspan Stadium. But the last time the teams played in Galway, the hosts ran in five tries through Niall Murray, Mack Hansen (2), John Porch and Diarmuid Kilgallen in a 36-11 victory.

Shane Delahunt, Oisin Dowling and Bundee Aki are the three survivors of 12 changes made since last week's EPCR Challenge Cup win over Brive.

Among those returning are Mack Hansen, Jack Carty and Finlay Bealham.

In association with Craggy Rugby, Galway Bay FM's William Davies previews the game with Connacht Director of Rugby Andy Friend, and Ulster back row Nick Timoney.
