Westies v :mexican: Sat 3:05pm TG4

(15-9) Tiernan O’Halloran, Niyi Adeolokun, Tom Farrell, Bundee Aki, Matt Healy, Jack Carty, Kieran Marmion, (1-8) Denis Buckley, Shane Delahunt, Finlay Bealham, Gavin Thornbury, Quinn Roux, Eoin McKeon, Jarrad Butler, John Muldoon (C).

(16-23): Tom McCartney, Peter McCabe, Conor Carey, Ultan Dillane, Eoghan Masterson, Caolin Blade, Craig Ronaldson, Darragh Leader.

15. Joey Carbery 14. Barry Daly 13. Tom Daly 12. Noel Reid 11. James Lowe 10. Ross Byrne 9. Nick McCarthy 1. Jack McGrath (C) 2. James Tracy 3. Andrew Porter 4. Ross Molony 5. Mick Kearney 6. Max Deegan 7. Peadar Timmins 8. Jack Conan

16. Seán Cronin 17. Cian Healy 18. Michael Bent 19. Devin Toner 20. Jordi Murphy 21. Whiskey Malone RFC 22. Jordan Larmour 23. Adam Byrne

In terms of the league, D4 will win Conf B, Connacht just looking to not finish bottom of A. Key point to make is that it is John Muldoon's last ever game for Connacht - no 327! Will not be a dry eye in the house.

It seems he lost the dressing room due to his criticism of the players to the media after matches they narrowly lost earlier in the season.
One season is too short to judge a coach on a 3 year contract, in my opinion.

Nigel Carolan might get the nod. He has a good pedigree with the u 20s.

You mean he went against IRFU control of PR guidelines

That's why he's gone, Paddys gone and Grobler is gone
Dont say or do anything that doesn't align with very narrow IRFU PR guidelines

Which makes me wonder why Rob Kearney still has a job after he sexually harassed a woman in South Africa
