The Connacht management team have released the latest squad update and have confirmed a 29-man squad for the upcoming games against the Stormers and Lions in South Africa. Josh Ioane (hand) and Shamus Hurley-Langton (wrist) both suffered fractures in Saturday’s game against Racing, with a return-to-play timeline to be determined this week. Mack Hansen (ankle), Bundee Aki (heel) and Caolin Blade (ankle) remain in Galway with a view to returning to selection availability for the game against Edinburgh, following the South Africa fixtures. Denis Buckley (quad) also misses the tour due to a strain, while Finn Treacy (head) will continue the GRTP protocols following his withdrawal on Saturday.
