Heineken Cup Pool 3 Round 3
Toulouse v Connacht
Sunday 8th December
K/O 16.00 (Irish Time)


Connacht travel to Toulouse on Sunday looking to regain some pride after a 43-10 trouncing away to Edinburgh brought a disappointing season to a new low. Connacht have recorded only 2 wins from 11 this season (both against Zebre) and will expect a tough evening against the four time European Cup winners. Having won away to Saracens in round 2 Toulouse will now be targeting an all important home quarter final berth.
