Their last trip in March 2023 ended in a 22-20 when for the visitors with tries coming from Dave Heffernan, Jarrad Butler and Cian Prendergast.

Connacht ended a two-match losing streak in the competition with a 54-16 victory over Zebre.  But Dragons' 36-19 defeat to Benetton was their sixth loss in seven games in all competitions.  Their only win was 20-13 against Zebre.

Connacht are ninth on 39 points, just outside the top-8 on scoring difference.  Dragons languish in 15th place with just 15 points.
