Rabo Direct Pro 12 Round 7
Connacht v Glasgow
Saturday 2nd November 17.00
After a narrow defeat away to provincial rivals Leinster, Connacht will be hoping to build on some promising recent form at home to play-off chasing Glasgow. Glasgow will travel with high hopes of victory after a comfortable victory on their last visit to Galway and some promising early season form which was halted somewhat by a defeat at home to Munster last Friday. Connacht will know that another morale victory won't suffice here.
