Connacht's URC tie with Munster next March will be held at Mayo GAA HD in Castlebar if a Mayo request to Central Council is green-lighted.

The move at a Mayo County Board meeting received delegate approval. Connacht's Dexcom Stadium is currently undergoing redevelopment work with the number of supporters restricted whilst the works are being completed. A move to Castlebar's MacHale Park would allow for a larger crowd, with a capacity of approx 25,000, at the interpro clash as the season hits into the business end.
