The Connacht matchday squad has been named for tomorrow’s pre-season friendly against Munster at The Sportsground (k/o 5.30pm).
The fixture is the squad’s first and only home pre-season game of the year, following a win away to Ulster earlier in the month and a trip to Edinburgh next week.
There are five changes from that Ulster game, with Denis Buckley, Dave Heffernan, Joe Joyce, Shamus Hurley-Langton and John Porch coming into the starting XV.
Tickets are available at connachtrugby.ie/tickets, while the game will also be streamed at connachtrugby.ie.
Earlier in the day the Connacht Eagles will play Munster ‘A’ in a behind-closed-doors fixture, with the squad also listed below.
