Good afternoon and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of Newcastle Falcons vs. Connacht Rugby. Connacht came out 25-10 winners last week in the reverse fixture to keep them at the top of Pool 1 in the Challenge Cup. Coach Pat Lam is only able to name the only 22 available players. The Falcons, however, name a very experienced side that boasts just under 1,200 caps in both leagues and cups. Kick-off to follow.
