After last week's postponed fixture against Scarlets, Connacht are back in the BKT United Rugby Championship with a trip to Wales to face Cardiff on Saturday (11th October 2025).

Connacht are sitting in eighth place on five points, but have a game in hand on those above them, including their opponents who are two points ahead in fifth. Connacht have won the last five meetings between the teams.

Connacht head coach Stuart Lancaster has made one change as Sean O’Brien replaces Paul Boyle at blindside flanker. Shamas Hurley-Langton is among the replacements.

Scrum and contact coach Cullie Tucker has been announced as Ireland A's head coach for a test in Spain in November. He caught up with Galway Bay FM's William Davies to chat about that and look ahead to Connacht's game in Cardiff.

Kick-off at Cardiff Arms Park is 7.45pm and we'll have full coverage on our website galwaybayfm.ie, plus LIVE 2nd half coverage on Galway Bay FM.
