Connacht win a scrum penalty and kick for the corner

Connacht force a knock on after some good defensive pressure

Connacht host Benetton at the Sportsground in a Pro 14 clash. Connacht are only playing their 6th match after a few postponements and will look at this as an opportunity to build some positive points and move in to 2nd place on the table. Benetton have not won this season and are on a six match losing streak. Benetton last won against Connacht in 2016 but have won at the Sportsground since 2013.

Sean O’Brien misses out tonight after picking up a late knock.

Jarrad Butler replaces him at 6️⃣ with Cian Prendergast coming on the bench. Boyle remains captain.
