Duo back for Connacht

Captain John Muldoon and centre Mel Deane return to the Connacht squad of 22 for their final home Magners League game of the season at The Sportsground on Friday (kick off: 7pm).

Coach Michael Bradley will look to add Ulster to the scalps of Leinster and Munster this season.

"We're looking forward to the match on the basis that we've a unique opportunity to have home victories over the three other Irish provinces in the one season, a feat that Connacht rugby have not achieved in the professional era so far", he said.

"Secondly, it is a momentous game for Andrew Farley in achieving his 153rd competitive cap for Connacht and at the same time Michael Swift's 150th cap for the province. When you take into consideration that Andrew is a few games off completing his sixth season with the club, it becomes even more noteworthy that he achieved the number of caps in such a short period of time and that we may not see it happen again in such a short timeframe."
