Connacht look set to lose another player to France with big No 8 Abraham Papali’i strongly linked with a move to Brive.

He will become the fifth Connacht player to leave the Sportsground for the Top 14 if the move is finalised, with flanker Colby Fainga’a being called up by Australia this autumn after moving to Lyon for the start of last season.
