Connacht bid to start season on a high

Connacht will welcome 200 spectators back to the Sportsground on Saturday as a strong side named by Andy Friend opens their 2020-21 Guinness PRO14 season with a visit from a Glasgow Warriors squad boasting 17 internationals (5:15pm).

Connacht’s first game at the Galway venue since February will see the westerners attempt to recreate the sizzling attacking display that accounted for Ulster at Aviva Stadium on August 23 when the 2019-20 restarted after lockdown.
