Connacht are gearing up for one of their most important games of the season when they take on Edinburgh at the Sportsground on Friday (6.30pm).

The two sides are deadlocked on eight points each in the Magners League and Michael Bradley’s men will be hoping to move up the table before the competition takes a break for the Autumn internationals.

“The Edinburgh game is huge for us. We want to go into the break on the back of another win.

“We were disappointed we did not take our chances against London Irish but we need to bounce back straight away.

“The crowd were superb against London Irish and I hope they come out in force this Friday as we need every assistanceas we try to beat Edinburgh,” said Bradley.
