A crowd of over 25,000 will be in attendence for the interpro, a number that smashes the club's previous all-time attendence record of 9,120 for the province's first Champions Cup fixture in 2011. 

Connacht narrowly lost to Munster in the opening weekend of the URC in Thomond Park with the homeside taking a 35-33 win in what was a thrilling encounter for the first game of the season.
