Connacht-Munster tie rescheduled

The St Stephen's Day Magners League derby clash between Connacht and Munster has been moved to Monday December 27 at 6.10pm.

The move was necessary as to allow maximum time for the pitch to thaw out following a night of heavy frost and freezing temperatures at the Sportsground. Connacht management, in consultation with Munster officials and tournament organisers reached the decision this afternoon following a pitch inspection.
