Bundee Aki, Mack Hansen, Finlay Bealham and Cian Prendergast to be rested for Saturday’s game in Swansea
The Welsh club are just one point behind the western province with 28 points to Connacht’s 29 after 12 rounds.Owen Doyle: Italy had a great chance to beat Ireland but they hit the self-destruct buttonSuccessive home wins over Benetton and Cardiff mean the province remains in the fight for a spot in the last eight, but with 10 teams all within eight points of each other, Tucker said his players are facing a “big physical block” of games.
“We just need to keep momentum, keep it game to game – the same five points you get for beating Benetton is the same four or five points you get for beating the Ospreys, so that’s the focus.” “They’re training well, they’re chomping at the bit, so it puts us in the pressurised position to get the right team on the pitch each week – but that’s a great place for us to be in.”
