Connacht boosted for season-defining URC clash with Cardiff as Carty, Bealham and Buckley return via IrishTimesSport
Connacht go into their last home game of the regular season, which is already heading towards a sell-out, in sixth place in the URC table and knowing a win will almost certainly seal a place in the top eight and thus the play-offs.
In welcoming back a clutch of key men ahead of what is likely to be his last home game after five seasons with the province, Connacht director of rugby Andy Friend said: “We’ve just come off the field and although it’s pretty wet and cold miserable, the session itself was very good. Cardiff were also knocked out of the Challenge Cup in Treviso by Benetton at the quarter-final stage last Saturday and Friend said: “What we do know is that their season is in the balance too now.
