Rabo Direct Pro 12 Round 9
Edinburgh v Connacht
Friday 29th November 19.45
After a hugely disappointing defeat at home to an understrength Scarlets side last Saturday, Connacht will be hoping to pick up the pieces against fellow strugglers Edinburgh on Friday night. A surprise Heineken Cup win at home to Munster has been the highlight of an average season for the Scottish side to date but they will expect to make it 4 wins from 9 in the Pro 12 on Friday night.
