Rabo Direct Pro 12 Round 14
Connacht v Edinburgh
Saturday 15th February 17.00
After a narrow defeat at an understrength Glasgow, Connacht will target just their 3rd Rabo Direct Pro 12 win of the season at home to Edinburgh. A 33 point trouncing away to the Scottish outfit marked one of the lowest points of Connacht's season to date. Edinburgh who due to postponements are playing their first Pro 12 game of 2014 have been making steady progress under Alan Solomons and will expect to leave Galway with the 4 points for the 2nd season in succession.
