Rory Parata
Versatile back Rory Parata, who has featured in 17 games this season, picked up an injury to his knee cap in training last week. He is currently awaiting feedback from the surgeon to determine the extent of the injury and if surgery is required. The 21-year-old is ruled out for at least the next two games.

 

Having sustained a number of concussions in the past 12 months, Dave McSharry has been reviewed by a specialist. He has been advised to undertake a period of rest from the game for the remainder of the current season. Dave, who has a contract with Connacht for next season, will continue to train in a non-contact capacity with the squad.
