Connacht will hope to finish off the first block of fixtures in the United Rugby Championship before the Autumn International break with a victory at home to Welsh side Dragons on Saturday night in Dexcom Stadium (7.35 pm). After victories over the Scarlets and the Sharks, Pete Wilkin's side have lost all three interprovincial games to sit 7th in the table on 13 points after 5 games played. The Dragons only have one win to their credit this season, an opening day last-gasp derby win over the Ospreys. Since then, they have lost to Leinster, the Sharks, the Lions and Benetton, and currently sit in 14th place in the table. The sides last met in Rodney Parade at the end of April when Connacht won 34-27. For this Saturday night, Connacht are hopeful that Mack Hansen will return to the starting team, but Dave Heffernan may not be involved if he is required for Ireland duty on Nov 8th against New Zealand
