To confirm, this game is not televised this evening
Connacht’s slip up at home to Exeter in round five has left them in a difficult position in the pool. Second in the table they must win to have any chance of qualifying for the last eight as one of the best runners-up.La Rochelle are the pool’s basement side and with that their motivation won't be at its zenith, which can only aid Connacht’s cause. Connacht have a proud record in France, having won ten of their last 11 ties there, and given they hammered La Rochelle 42-19 in Galway they go into the tie as favourites. They are highly unlikely to cut open in the same manner, but if they perform to the same level as they did even in defeat to Exeter last weekend they can wear the French team down as the clock winds on.
