Final preparations are being made ahead of the historic opening of the Clan stand at the new Dexcom stadium at noon tomorrow.

The stand, which can hold up to 6,500 supporters, will be officially opened by Uachtaráin na hÉireann Catherine Connolly.

Attention will then shift to the first game to be played at the new look stadium, with Connacht taking on Leinster in the United Rugby Championship.

Dexcom Stadium General Manager Sinead Cassidy says that the major project is a 'new chapter' for Connacht Rugby:
