How’s our recent record against them?
The two sides last met at the end of October when the Ospreys withstood a late Connacht fightback to win 22-17 in Bridgend. However it was Connacht that came out on top at the last Sportsground meeting when tries from Eoghan Masterson and Tom Farrell gave us the win 26-15 just over 12 months ago.

How will the two teams line up?
Connacht have been boosted by the return of four players from international duty while there's also a first start of the season for Peter Robb at inside centre. Meanwhile Ospreys have made one change to the side that lost to Munster last weekend with James Hook coming in for Tiaan Thomas-Wheeler.
