All you need to know: Connacht v Edinburgh

Edinburgh come to Dexcom Stadium this weekend for Round 17 of the URC and our final home game of the 2024/25 season.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of Saturday's game in Dexcom Stadium.

When’s the game?

Kick-off is 19:35, Saturday 10th May.

How will the two teams line up?

The Connacht management team will announce their squad on Friday at midday when it will be named on connachtrugby.ie and the Connacht Rugby social channels.

State of play so far:

Both teams are outside the top eight heading into the final two rounds but are still in contention to reach the play-offs. Defeats in South Africa have Connacht six points off the top eight while Edinburgh are two points off.

Connacht will want to bounce back after their defeat in Johannesburg over a week ago and end the 2024/25 season at home on a high.

Edinburgh were in Challenge Cup action at the weekend losing to Bath in the semi final. The Scottish side drew their last URC game away to Zebre.
