Leinster expect Saturday’s Guinness Pro14 game against Connacht at the RDS to go ahead after the province confirmed two players have tested positive for Covid-19.

The Pro14 champions saw their St Stephen’s Day fixture against Munster postponed due to uncertainty surrounding the results of some tests, with the province later confirming all players and staff had tested negative.
