Speaking ahead of this evening's game, Head Coach Kieran Keane said: "I have a large squad of players available to me for the two pre-season games and I will be making sure that guys get as much game time under their belts as possible. The pre-season has been going well but we are really focusing on our opening PRO14 game against Glasgow on the 2nd of September. I am expecting a big atmosphere for that one and we will be hoping to get off to a good start".
With the Southern Kings travelling up from South Africa a week later, I will need a strong squad available to me. The purpose of the two games in the next four days, is to start testing the depth of our squad".
