Connacht and Munster Set for Crucial URC Derby in Galway

Kick-off is at 7.45pm in Dexcom Stadium today (May 9th).

Connacht and Munster meet at Dexcom Stadium in Galway this evening in a hugely important United Rugby Championship (URC) derby, with kick-off at 7.45pm.

Munster arrive in fifth place after back-to-back bonus-point wins over Benetton and Ulster, while Connacht are just outside the top eight and need a victory to keep their play-off hopes firmly alive.

The visitors are without several key players, including Ireland internationals Tadhg Beirne, but still name a strong side captained by Craig Casey.

Connacht, meanwhile, welcome Bundee Aki back to their starting team.

Munster have won the last four meetings between the provinces, but Connacht have an excellent home record this season and will be backed by a sold-out crowd in Galway.
