Aki and Papali’i return to Connacht bench for Ospreys clash

Aki wears the 22 shirt with no Jack Carty in the squad.

CONNACHT HAVE BEEN able to bolster their ranks for tomorrow’s Pro14 encounter with Ospreys at the Sportsground (kick-off 3pm).

Captain Jarrad Butler returns from injury to lead the side, while Peter Robb is named to start at inside centre in a timely return to replace the injured Sam Arnold.

With no Jack Carty in the squad, Bundee Aki has been deemed fit enough for the replacements bench after knee trouble and Abraham Papali’i is also primed to add impact from Connacht’s bench.

Conor Fitzgerald starts at out-half behind an in-form pack boasting Ultan Dillane, Quinn Roux and Conor Oliver.
