**Hooker Dave Cherry will make his 50th appearance for Edinburgh as they bid to return to winning ways in the United Rugby Championship against Connacht.** The capital club have seen their impressive start to the season, which saw them reach the summit for the first time since 2009, stall after three losses on the bounce. Edinburgh make six changes to the team which went down to Munster two weeks ago. Ireland internationals Jack Carty and Dave Heffernan return to the Connacht line-up, with the former named captain. Caolin Blade also starts after impressing off the bench in last week's home win over the DHL Stormers.
