Kieran Marmion back in the mix for Connacht, but Stephen Fitzgerald out for season

Connacht coach Andy Friend says he will field a full strength team in his side’s final Champions Cup game of the season against Montpellier despite already being out of the running to qualify for the latter stages of the competition.

The return of Kieran Marmion to full training for the first time in two and a half months is a huge lift for the province, while Conor Fitzgerald, Tom Farrell, Conor Kenny, and Peter Robb are all in line for some game time in the South of France.
