Faloon ruled out for Connacht

Connacht back rower Willie Faloon has been ruled out of the province’s Pool 3 showdown against Biarritz at the Parc des Sports Aguilera on Friday (8pm).

The Connacht medical team reported a few knocks and bruises after Friday night’s 22-14 win over the French outfit the Sportsground but Faloon, who suffered a fractured eye socket, is the only player from last weekend’s squad who has been ruled out ahead of the trip to France.
