Galway fan Blade revved up for Munster by Mayo's McStay

Caolin Blade has followed the fortunes of Galway in both codes but has never been to MacHale Park in Castlebar.

Connacht’s Caolin Blade in action against Ospreys.

Caolin Blade is from a huge GAA family in Monivea but while he played both hurling and football up to minor level and has followed the fortunes of Galway in both codes he has never been to MacHale Park in Castlebar.

So, this weekend’s historic URC clash with Munster will be his first time to visit the home of Mayo GAA and like everyone else in Connacht Rugby, he’s chomping at the bit to be running out in front of over 25,000 fans there.
