Connacht Qualify for United Rugby Championship Play-offs After Victory in Edinburgh

Connacht are through to the BKT United Rugby Championship quarter-finals following a 26-5 bonus point victory over Edinburgh at the Hive Stadium on Friday (15th May 2026).

Two Shamus Hurley-Langton tries along with Josh Ioane and Matthew Devine crossing the whitewash gave Connacht a first win at the Scottish venue since 2020.

With Ulster going down 26-22 to Glasgow Warriors, it means Connacht will be back in action in two weeks time.  But they'll have to wait at least another 24 hours before they know if this result is good enough to play in next season's Champions Cup.

Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Rob Murphy and William Davies.
