What's happening with Connacht Rugby

teams.ie Editorial Team

Connacht Rugby are gearing up for a sold-out interprovincial clash with Munster this Saturday at the Dexcom Stadium in a crucial URC Round 17 encounter, with Stuart Lancaster's side looking to cement their play-off credentials against their Irish rivals. The West has bolstered their squad for next season with the signing of tighthead prop Connolly, a Galway-born addition that gives Andy Farrell another option to consider for Ireland's upcoming plans. Munster will arrive in Galway without fly-half Jack Crowley, dealing the southern province a significant blow ahead of what promises to be an intense all-Irish battle under the lights.
