The visit of Leinster is always an exciting occasion in Galway, although the anticipation has only grown with Andy Friend’s Connacht making a strong start to the season.
The westerners recorded an impressive 33-20 victory over the Scarlets at the Sportsground last weekend, making it two wins from four games so far, while they have also picked up losing bonus points in both of their defeats in the Pro14.
