**Connacht’s slim hopes of reaching the Guinness PRO14 final later this month ended last weekend but they can at least wrap up second place in Saturday’s clash with Edinburgh.** The Westerners, paired with Leicester Tigers in the draw for the last 16 of the Challenge Cup, lost 20-17 to Munster last Friday which gave the Irish province an unassailable lead at the top of Conference B. However, Connacht remain eight points clear of third-placed Scarlets with two games remaining. Edinburgh’s match against Benetton last Sunday was called off following a positive Covid-19 test in the Italian camp. **The breakdown** The Irishmen hope to win back-to-back matches at The Sportsground for the first time in nearly 18 months.
