Connacht senior coach Pete Wilkins is hopeful that Edinburgh’s new 4G pitch at the DAM Health Stadium at Murrayfield will be the perfect launchpad as they try to make it three wins in a row in the league this Friday evening (7.35pm).

The surface should certainly suit the type of game Connacht are trying to play this season and even with seven changes to the side that defeated the Stormers last time out, Wilkins reckons they can thrive.
