"These 23 players [in the match-day squad] are the fortunate ones who have earned the opportunity to wear the jersey and represent their team-mates and the whole of Connacht in our first final."That's right - this is Connacht's first final in their 132 year history. Muldoon has been with the province for 13 of those years and this is the closest he has come to winning a trophy since Connacht flirted with Challenge Cup glory just under a decade ago. This evening's game will be Muldoon's 275th appearance in Connacht green. It is a remarkable achievement and one that he will add to again next season. https://twitter.com/connachtrugby/status/736257916118925312 There is no doubt in Muldoon's mind, however, that he can go to the well one last time in this campaign. He says:
"It’s a huge moment for the club and a huge moment for every individual. It’s unchartered territory for us, but at the same time it’s a moment that we’ve dreamed of as children, and big children... "I’m delighted to be part of everything and to be able to walk out on the pitch and be involved in the last few weeks, months and years. I’ve been through tough days, but they will all go tomorrow. "We’ve got a great chance, a great opportunity. We have a chance to give it a go, we know what faces us but we’re very confident going in."One more win over a daunting Leinster side would make it 20 for the season. One more win for history. It took 20 years for Connacht to crash the party but they're here now and they're tearing it up.

Despite continued appearances in Champions Cup finals and a semi-final loss to Northampton last year, as well as URC titles, Leinster do face their fair […]

Brilliant footage shows Toulon doing training drills on Dublin street ahead of Leinster loss
This is great! Ahead of their Champions Cup semi-final against Leinster this afternoon at the Aviva Stadium, Toulon were seen training in a rather unusual spot. Instead of a field or the gym, they were filmed on a Dublin street doing maul drills, while others causally tossed the ball around. It is unclear exactly where […]
