There are not many glass ceilings that Connacht haven’t smashed through in recent years but their dreadful record in England is one that remains as they prepare to head to Welford Road on Sunday and take on a Leicester Tigers who have won all ten games this season.

This will be Connacht’s 29th trip to England in the professional era, they have won just twice, drawn once, and came home defeated on 25 occasions.
