The Lions are in Galway to take on Connacht in a vitally important United Rugby Championship showdown. “It’s also a nice opportunity to bond as a squad,” Redelinghuys said ahead of the match. Feels Saturday’s game at the Sports ground, as well as next week’s trip to Swansea to face the Ospreys , are critical to maintaining their hopes of making the URC play-offs. “We want to get as many points as possible from the first two games,” Van Rooyen noted the need to build momentum earlier this week.
He also said: “We all know how tough Connacht is in Galway. I think they have only lost against the Irish teams there. “We then face the Ospreys, who managed to beat us in January in the dying minutes, so it will be important for us to go there and rectify what we did. Connacht coach Pete Wilkins wouldn’t understate the Lions threat. “We navigated through the Six Nations period with the two wins we needed, so now we want to build on that for the remainder of the season,” he said
