Connacht Rugby have been given a joint-apology from the Irish Rugby Football Union and Leinster Rugby after their senior women's teams were forced to get changed near bins in a derelict area of Energia Park on Saturday.

Videos on social media showed rats running near where the players were getting ready for the game with Ulster which ended in a 12-12 draw.
