Connacht are going to give skipper Cian Prendergast every chance to be fit for Saturday’s Challenge Cup quarter-final showdown against Racing 92 in Galway.

The 25-year-old missed the 35-20 win over Cardiff at the weekend after suffering a head injury which saw him stretchered off in the URC against Munster in Castlebar and a red card for Alex Nanikvell.
