Connacht Rugby will have a home date to start the new 2020/21 Season when they host Glasgow at the Sportsground following the announcement of the new fixtures this afternoon. This season will not feature the South African teams as PRO14 organisers confirmed that South African teams won't be part of the upcoming season.
Issues around travel restrictions mean that the competition will go ahead without the Cheetahs and the Kings.
The league added that they're in talks with South Africa Rugby about plans to expand the tournament with more franchises from the country from 2022.
With more details of Connacht's opening games of the new season here is William Davies.
