Vainikolo to make Connacht debut against Cardiff

Tongan World Cup star Fetu'u Vainkolo is set to make his Connacht debut in tomorrow’s RaboDirect PRO12 match against the Cardiff Blues at the Sportsground (6pm).

The 26-year-old winger played twice for his country in New Zealand, scoring a try in their 31-18 victory over Japan. He slots in on the rights wing and joins captain Gavin Duffy and the returning Tiernan O'Halloran in the back three.
