Well, disappointment in the Sportsground and Connacht’s season is effectively over. We’ll be following Presentation Athenry verses St. Kieran’s, Kilkenny later in the All-Ireland PPS Senior A Hurling Final. Join us then!

Well done to @gloucesterrugby the better team won! Disappointing from @connachtrugby going backwards under Keane, why have we continued to ignore our fly half problem?! 🤔 #CONvGLO

Great defence from Gloucester to keep Connacht in their own half with the clock red. O'Halloran's little bit of magic was great, really unfortunate Niyi lost the ball in contact after making huge yards. Great game though. #CONvGLO

A try for prop @John_Afoa on his 100th appearance for @gloucesterrugby. Fitting for a player who have given real value over the past four seasons.

Connacht 17-10 down to Gloucester at half time and they’ve barely played. Need a big second half performance to save their season.

Good day and welcome to our coverage of the European Challenge Cup quarter-final in the Sportsground. Connacht go in search of a fourth appearance in the penultimate round and a chance to travel to Newcastle in the semi-finals.
However, they don’t have a strong record against Gloucester so it’s all to play for. Join us for all the action. Kick-off is at 1pm.
