It will be an historic day for Connacht as they open their new Clan Stand which will be home to 6,555 supporters and increases the capacity of the Dexcom Stadium to approximately 12,500. Leinster were the first team which Connacht ever played 140 years ago and it is fitting that as the province enters a new era that their interpro rivals will be the team they face in front of the new stand. 

It has been an up and down season for Connacht but they will be hoping for consistency with another performance like against Montauban while Leinster will be hoping to continue their winning ways. In a game that sold out in December this promises to be a great occasion and an intriguing clash.
