Reynecke set to make Connacht return ahead of Newport match

The side are currently struggling on account of several notable absentees through injury.

HOOKER ETHIENNE REYNECKE is set to make a return for Connacht ahead of their upcoming RaboDirect PRO12 encounter away to Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade.

Reynecke’s imminent return from a recent calf injury will provide a significant boost to Connacht, who are still without TJ Anderson, Eoin Griffin, Frank Murphy, John Muldoon, Dave Nolan and Kyle Tonetti through injury.

George Naoupu is also out with an ankle injury, and will continue to be monitored in the coming weeks.

The starting lineup for the game will be announced on Friday 22nd November at 12pm, while the match kicks off at 7pm later that day.
