Connacht blow as O’Connor injured

FORMER Irish international Johnny O’Connor is ruled out of the Connacht squad for tomorrow’s European Challenge Cup clash against Rugby Rovigo at the Sportsground (6.30pm).

O’Connor is sidelined with a calf injury while Keith Matthews and Ronan Loughney are also doubts though they are named in Michael Bradley’s 24-man selection which includes Brian McGovern and Mel Deane.

Bradley was pleased with the way his men executed a bonus-point 35-20 over the Italians in Rovigo on Saturday.
