Connacht's Ireland contingent will get the chance to impress Andy Farrell one more time before Six Nations preparations begin in earnest.
The rearranged encounter between Munster and Leinster will give Farrell the chance to run the rule over many of his frontliners at Thomond Park on Saturday week, and now Guinness PRO14 bosses have brought forward the Sportsground clash between Connacht and Ospreys to a day later (3pm kick-off, live on TG4).
The round eight fixture was already rescheduled for on February 13 but, due to a free weekend for both teams, it has been brought forward to Sunday, January 24.
That's good news for the likes of Bundee Aki, who has been sidelined through injury, as well as Jack Carty, Quinn Roux, Ultan Dillane, Dave Heffernan and Kieran Marmion.
That's also the case for Farrell, who will be pleased that a third province will get a run-out before Ireland go into Six Nations camp, although his Ulster players won't play before then.
