Connacht look set for a triple boost as they make the daunting trip to Welford Road on Sunday with Bundee Aki, Mack Hansen, and Finlay Bealham likely to be available for the Champions Cup clash with Leicester Tigers.

Head coach Andy Friend, whose squad returned to training today following their impressive 36-9 win over Stade Francais, said it was too early yet to make a call but the prognosis on the injury front was promising.
