I think Browne for Roux if fit with Roux to bench. I definitely think O'Leary to should start this one as Carthys confidence will have taken a hammering. I think we do need to see Carey at some point. JP has improved but needs to improve further.

I'd like to see Romaine on the bench if he's fit, I can't see Cannon coming straight in. But I heard Browne could be fit enough for a spot on the bench, and come on for the last stretch.
For the no 10 spot, Carty could do with playing some role in the game, even if it only be the last 20.

Wow, it seems you just have to be connected to Connacht in anyway and bad stuff happens. What's going on ....
That said, Solomons never came across well.

I'm pretty sure he is suspended for the game.

Connacht Rugby head Coach Pat Lam has made two changes to the starting team ahead of tomorrow evening’s Guinness PRO12 Round 5 game at home to Edinburgh (Kick Off: 7.35pm – live on TG4).
Peter Robb returns to the starting lineup to partner Bundee Aki in midfield and in an otherwise unchanged backline.
In the pack, 25-year-old Conor Carey makes his Connacht debut starting in the front row with Denis Buckley and Tom McCartney.
Commenting on the upcoming game, Pat Lam said:
“We’re back at the Sportsground tomorrow and really looking forward to the challenge. We are under no illusions as to the threat that Edinburgh pose, and the physicality they will bring to the contest. We are determined to continue improving in our game as we look to earn the points that are available.”

Exciting team.
We are what 4 games into the season now and we are at home, so I think it is not asking much from fans to expect a serious response by the guys now and take a win here and build on it.
I really hope Carey goes well. As said, we need our signings here to be good because White is gone and there is a decent change Finlay will be involved with Ireland.
Fingers crossed for this one. I don't even want to contemplate another loss.

I will be in central London for this one anybody know where I can watch it?
Just have a feeling that the penny is going to drop this evening and everything is going to fall into place and would hate to miss it.
