Connacht announces 23-man squad

Connacht have announced a 23-man squad ahead of their Magners League clash with Munster on Sunday at Thomond Park (kick off: 5pm).

Stephen Knoop returns to the side for the first time since September 8 after recovering from a back injury. Connacht's top try scorer this season, Matt Mostyn, is left out for the first time, having broken his ankle while scoring a try in Connacht's last match, against Cardiff. He is expected to return to action in 10-12 weeks.
