Connacht have named a squad of 22 for this Friday’s clash with Borders in Netherdale. Matt Lacey will miss the game with a leg injury, while James Downey (Collarbone) is on the long-term injured list. Peter Bracken and Brendan O’Connor come into the squad.

Just a few weeks ago Connacht would have been heavily fancied for this clash but their recent form in the Celtic League is extremely poor and a loss on Friday would make it five losses in sucession. Meanwhile the Borders are going the opposite direction picking up their second win of the season last Saturday against Leinster.

Connacht Squad for Borders Match:

Forwards: Dan McFarland, Ray Hogan, Peter Bracken, Stephen Knoop, John Fogarty, Bernard Jackman, Christian Short, Pieter Myburgh, Andrew Farley (Captain), Michael Swift, Brendan O’Connor, John Muldoon, John O’Sullivan.



Backs: Matt Mostyn, Conor McPhillips, Ted Robinson, Darren Yapp, Mark McHugh, Paul Warwick, David Slemen, Tom Tierney, Chris Keane.
