Hogan joins Connacht squad to face Leinster

Connacht have announced a squad of 25 ahead of their Magners League clash with Leinster at the Sportsground on Friday evening (6.30pm).

Ray Hogan looks set to join the match squad for the first time this season and also included are Paul Warwick and Ted Robinson who have recovered from injury.

Connacht will be looking to build on the momentum they've already generated.

Having won their opening two encounters, Connacht drew with Edinburgh Gunners last weekend.

Connacht are seventh in the Magners League table with Leinster one position below.

The weekend of rugby kicks off earlier in the day, at Crowley Park in Galway, as Connacht 'A' look for revenge against a Leinster 'A' side, who beat them narrowly last Friday by a late try (3pm).

Connacht Squad to face Leinster:

Michael Diffley, Andrew Farley, Adrian Flavin, John Fogarty, David Gannon, Ray Hogan, Chris Keane, Matt Lacey, Keith Matthews, Mark McHugh, Conor McPhillips, Matt Mostyn, John Muldoon, Ray Ofisa, Colm Rigney, Daniel Riordan, Ted Robinson, David Slemen, Brett Sturgess, Michael Swift, Tom Tierney, Paul Warwick, Brett Wilkinson, Gavin Williams, Darren Yapp.
