Connacht Squad Update

Despite the disappointing defeat to Ulster at Ravenhill last week, the squad were refocused when they reported for duty at a sun drenched Sportsground yesterday and thankfully there were no new injury concerns for the coaching team.

Prop Rodney Ah You, who left the field temporarily with a bloody eye on Friday night, has recovered fully ahead of the upcoming derby game.

Fionn Carr took a knock to the knee but the winger is expected to be available ahead of the team announcement on Friday.

Willie Faloon, who was in line to return against his former club Ulster last week but was unfortunate to pick up a slight hamstring strain in the last training run, has recovered to bring himself back in to the frame for Saturday.

Backs Matt Healy and Craig Ronaldson were also welcomed back to team training this week.

Meanwhile, Nathan White (calf strain) is making good progress but it is unlikely that the Tighthead prop will return in time for the visit of Rob Penny's side.
