Connacht name unchanged squad
Monday, 10 September 2001 20:57Following on from their excellent win over Neath on Friday, Connacht have named the same squad for tonight's game against Newport. Coach Steph Nel will have to plan without Michael Swift, Colm Rigney and James Ferris while Damien Browne is also unavailable.
Meanwhile Leinster coach Matt Williams welcomes back Brian O'Driscoll, Gordan D'arcy and Nathan Spooner for the game against Pontypridd in Donnybrook tomorrow night, after all three missed the seven-try demolition of Bridgend. Leinster are hoping to maintain the distinction of being the only unbeaten side to date in the competition.
David Humphries returns for Ulster for Wednesday's game against Bridgend with Paddy Wallace reverting to full back. The Ulster branch has confirmed that hooker Mark Crick will join their squad. The former Australian U-19 and U-21 player has been playing with New South Wales over the last three seasons.
