Connacht’s most experienced player Denis Buckley hopes their superb form this season will continue when they travel to Welford Road to face Leicester Tigers for the time in history when they clash in the European Challenge Cup next month.

The prize for the winners is a home quarter-final against either Ospreys or Newcastle Falcons and Buckley, who has chalked up 195 appearances for his native province, said there is no reason why they can’t aim high.
