Connacht Due Change Of Luck In Belfast – Muldoon
Written 3 weeks ago by Newsroom
Connacht captain John Muldoon admits that Belfast has been a “graveyard” for the province.
They take on Ulster at Kingpsan Stadium tomorrow evening.
Ireland scrum-half Kieran Marmion will win his 100th cap while Matt Healy’s recovered from a groin injury to start on the left-wing.
His inclusion sees double try scorer last week Tiernan O’Halloran move to full-back with Cian Kelleher on the right-wing.
Athlone’s Jack Carty starts at fly-half while Portlaoise’s Eoghan Masterson is on the bench.
Connacht haven’t won in Belfast for 57 years and Muldoon says they are due a victory.
