Connacht are putting their final preparations in place for their opening game in South Africa against The Stormers.
The province lies just one point off the playoffs going into Saturday’s game at the Cape Town Stadium.
Ahead of the game, Alan Deegan spoke to Scrum and Contact coach Cullie Tucker and to player Shayne Bolton who are in the Connacht camp in Cape Town.
There was also sad news during the week with the Stormers team manager Christopher "Chippie" Solomon died last Saturday at the age of 64.
Cullie was first to speak to Alan and first of all offered his and Connacht's condolences to Chippie's family and all at the Stormers.
