Muldoon to reach century for Connacht

Captain John Muldoon will play his 100th Magner's League match for Connacht against Cardiff Blues in Wales on Sunday.

In addition, flanker Michael Swift will also reach the same milestone if he manages some game time from the bench, as well as equalling Eric Elwood's record of 161 appearances for Connacht.

It would be a wonderful occasion for Connacht to spring what would be a big surprise.
