Recent victories over the Dragons and Ulster have left Eric Elwood's side well placed to climb the RaboDirect PRO12 table and with just two points separating Connacht from the Dragons and Treviso a best ever eighth place finish is certainly within reach.
Speaking about the selection Head Coach Eric Elwood said:
"We're looking for a strong performance and to finish the season on a high. We've had some excellent results in recent weeks and we hope to build on that and finish on an up. It'll be a big day for the likes of Ray (Ofisa) and Henry (Fa'afili) playing in front of the home crowd for the last time so it would be great to give them the send off they deserve and finish with a win."
Connacht Rugby will throw open it's doors for a family fun day this Saturday ahead of the match. From 2.30pm the Sportsground will be transformed with bouncy castles, obstacle courses, rugby assault course, meet the players and much more. Further details can be found on www.connachtrugby.ie
