Connacht make 2 changes for this clash with the Dragons. In comes Paul Warrick in the centre and Brett Sturgess in the front row, Darren Matthews moves to the left wing with Keith Matthews on the bench. Hogan moves to loosehead with Brett Wilkinson on the bench.
Dragons make 2 changes as well from their EDF victory over the Saints, Richard Fussell and Lee Harrison replace Gareth Wyatt (rib) and Rhys Thomas (chest).
