The Connacht matchday squad has been named for tomorrow’s pre-season friendly as we take on Edinburgh at the Hive Stadium (k/o 7.30pm).

The fixture is the squad’s final pre-season game of the year, as attention will then turn to the opening round of the BKT United Rugby Championship on October 21st when Connacht take on Ospreys at The Sportsground.

There are six changes from last week's game against Munster, with Darragh Murray, Paul Boyle, Colm Reilly, JJ Hanrahan, Cathal Forde and Shayne Bolton coming into the starting XV.
