From the team which faced the Scarlets, Jonathan Evans comes in at scrum-half, new signing Mike Petri is on the bench, locks Rob Sidoli and Adam Jones both return to the line-up, whilst Lewis Evans also starts at flanker. The front-row trio of Hugh Gustafson, Ben Castle and captain Tom Willis all start, whilst Gavin Thomas and Toby Faletau retain their places. Luke Charteris drops to the bench where he is joined by the returning Andrew Coombs. Steve Jones, Pat Palmer and Phil Price provide cover.

In the backs Will Harries continues at full-back, Adam Hughes and Aled Brew fill the wing berths, and Tom Riley partners Ashley Smith in the centre. Jason Tovey is at ten, with Pat Leach and Mathew Jones among the replacements. The Men of Gwent last faced Connacht in the opening game of this season, when they were beaten 40-17, but they have a strong home record against the Irish province, having won six of the previous seven clashes between the two played at Rodney Parade, most recently winning 23-10 in October 2009.
