With the visit of Glasgow Warriors this Saturday Connacht will welcome back former utility back Troy Nathan to the Sportsground. He was part of Counties Manukau ITM Cup team before joining Connacht in 2007 and with 74 caps in his 4 years at Connacht Troy clocked up 5 trys for the province before moving to Glasgow at the beginning of this season. Eric Elwood will have his choice of centres on Saturday to line up against their former team-mate. Dave McSharry, Eoin Griffin, Kyle Tonetti and Henry Fa’afili have all been passed fit for the weekend clash and all 4 will be pushing for a starting spot and the opportunity to limit the options Troy faces in front of the home crowd.
