New Connacht signing Mils Muliaina remains on course to make his Connacht debut against Zebre on 21 November.
The 100-cap New Zealander will resume full contact training next week as he continues his recovery from an elbow injury.
The 34-year-old joined Pat Lam’s men at the end of August.
Meanwhile, front row forward Tom McCartney arrives in Galway from the Blues in New Zealand this week to complete Lam's playing squad.
