Connacht boss Pete Wilkins has labelled this Saturday’s penultimate URC round home clash with the Stormers as a must-win game after his side’s capitulation to Munster at Thomond Park.

The 47-12 defeat in Limerick on Saturday evening, which saw Connacht concede five second-half tries having trailed 14-7 at half-time, left the western province outside the top-eight play-off qualification places with two regular season matches to play and facing a fight to make the grade for next season’s Champions Cup competition.
