Irish tighthead Finlay Bealham is set to return for Connacht this weekend as they bid to back up their impressive showing away to Munster as they try to secure their first win of their URC campaign when they take on the Sharks at Dexcom Stadium on Saturday.

His Irish colleague Bundee Aki is poised to be available the following week after their exploits in South Africa earlier in the summer.
