A pitch inspection will take place at 12 noon today to confirm that Connacht’s Magners League clash with Leinster will go ahead at 4pm.
The surface of the pitch was covered on Thursday but heavy overnight frost has resulted in an inspection being required.
A few small areas of the pitch are a cause for concern.
Leinster have departed from Dublin for the game and it is hoped that it will go ahead as planned at 4pm.
The outcome of the noon pitch inspection will be posted on the Connacht website www.connachtrugby.ie as soon as it is made.
Meanwhile, arrangements are being made to stage the AIB Junior Cup semi-final between Monivea and City of Derry at the Sportsground later this evening.
The game was scheduled for Monivea this afternoon but the pitch is unplayable. The staging of the game at the Sportsground this evening will also be dependent on the pitch inspection.
