Connacht head coach Ross Mannion has finalised the squad for the upcoming Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Championship.
This series marks the first time in nearly two years the Connacht Women will take to the field, after they reached the final of the 2019 Interprovincial tournament.
The westerners will be captained by Galwegians scrum half Mary Healy, with their opening game coming this Saturday against Leinster at the Sportsground (kick-off 2.45pm).
Next up for Connacht will be a trip to Musgrave Park on Saturday, September 4 to face Munster, before they head to Energia Park the following week for a final round clash with Ulster.
There are a limited number of tickets now on sale for the Connacht Women’s first round showdown with Leinster in Galway this weekend. Click here for full details.
This is a really exciting milestone for Connacht Rugby because, for the first time since February 2020, they are giving every supporter the chance to purchase a ticket to a rugby game at the stadium.
