Touhy, Loxton, Swift, McCrea, O'Connor x 2, McSharry, Browne, Grace, Ofisa, Rodney and Gannon all injured.

I know I'm probabbly missing a few as well.


You can add Nolan (badly broken leg in pre-season, no idea if we'll see him at all this season); Maguire seems to be perpetually injured too; Loughs picked up a shoulder injury in the Leinster game; and Griffin supposedly shipped a knock but not a serious one thank God.

From the Irish Times:

Connacht’s season went from bad to worse today with news that winger Brian Tuohy and flanker Johnny O’Connor are set for extended time on the sidelines.

Tuohy broke his leg in Sunday’s 15-13 defeat to Leinster at the Sportsground. He underwent surgery today but is unlikely to be back before the end of the season.

Former Ireland international O’Connor fractured a cheekbone in the contest and will also require surgery.

Connacht also have doubts over prop Ronan Loughney and outhalf Niall O’Connor ahead of their game away to Aironi on Saturday.
