Positive injury news for Connacht

Johnny O’Connor is one of several Connacht players who have recovered from injury in time to stake a claim for a place in Eric Elwood’s starting XV for Saturday’s Heineken Cup game against Harlequins at the Twickenham Stoop (1.35pm).

O’Connor, who missed last weekend’s victory over Newport Gwent Dragons due to an injury sustained against Leinster will be competing with the likes of Eoin McKeon and Eoghan Grace for the number 7 jersey this week.
