Is match televised?

Looking forward to seeing this lad

Against a 2nd tier team and some said he looked rusty.
No way SOB stays on the bench or come in back-row, except injuries

Ultan played 80 against Bristol.

I highly doubt both Browne or freshly recovered Dillane will play 80.
Even think SOB will come in around 50ish minute..

He said "Irish players monitoring" so I guess Heffernan and Roux will play against Kings

...or the locks are expected to play 80 as they're both being rested next week. Time will tell...

Its been a long summer without Connacht Rugby matches to attend. I cant wait for tomorrow!! Last weeks pre-season game didn't count, it was day time and there was no atmosphere.

Strong team, but I'm surprised Heenan and Scholes not involved.

I would be happier to see Ronaldson starting beside Bundee, the memory of this fixture last year is still stings!

So pleased to see Buckley, Aki, Farrell involved
Disappointed for Scholes
Amazed not to see Ronaldson starting, but Griffin may have impressed Keane, and Ronaldson can cover 10 and 12. Smart

Wouldn't be surprised to see Browne (lineout technician) and Roux (beast) start next week in place of Cannon (lineout) and Dillane (beast). KK has stated he intends to mix and match.

Think we have a serious edge over them in the forwards which needs to be the winning of the game.
If it's raining I'd be pumping balls down on top of Jackson, who's never been a convincing player to me. Hope Leader goes well on his return as he showed real promise before all the injuries.

Very inexperienced LH and hooker (and no Gray) for Glasgow in a (forecast) downpour. We should be looking to overpower them in the tight five.

Im stunned that Scholes isn't involved surely they plan to rotate a little the next week, I don't want Scholes to lose his confidence as not starting a few games could bring back memories from his time at Edinburgh. Its a very strong XV and if Glasgow rest their Lion players I think Connacht should be slight favourites given its at home, both in a similar position but Connacht more full strength and of course have home field advantage plus i'd say KK know's more about Rennie than Rennie knows about him given KK would have been taking Rennie's orders.
