Connacht coach Michael Bradley has made six changes to his side for Saturday's Magners League trip to Stradey Park to take on the Scarlets.
Having gone down 16-3 to the Ospreys last week Bradley felt the need to make changes ahead of the trip to Wales.
In the backs Troy Nathan gets the nod at full-back, whilst Kieran Campbell makes his competitive debut for Connacht at scrum-half.
The other change behind the pack sees Aidan Wynne start on the left wing. The remaining three changes come up front where Adrian Flavin starts at hooker, Ronan Loughney comes in at tighthead and Michael Swift starts in the second row.
Captain John Muldoon reverts back to number eight while Michael McCarthy moves to blindside flanker.
