President Message

As President of Connacht Rugby it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Dexcom Stadium for today’s BKT United Rugby Championship fixture between Connacht and Glasgow Warriors.

No matter how far or near you have travelled, we hope you enjoy the occasion in our brand new facility, and bring the same energy and passion you showed against Leinster last month, for what is another vital fixture in the context of the race to the URC playoffs.

Today provides an opportunity to take stock and reflect on last month’s historic meeting, and the grand opening of the new Clan Stand. Result aside, I firmly believe it was one of the greatest and proudest days in the 140 year history of Connacht Rugby. This was an occasion that showcased our province at its very finest. Over 600 people, between staff and volunteers, came together to deliver an occasion that will live long in the memory, and personally I am thankful to have been fortunate enough to hold this privileged position on such a special day.

As Willie Ruane and Stuart Lancaster have alluded to, that day was not the end of one chapter, but the beginning of another. We now move forward as an organisation with one of the best rugby facilities anywhere in European club rugby, with a top-class coaching team and an exciting young squad who continue to get better and better. Now let’s all come together and provide them with all the support they need as we aim to get back to the playoffs and Champions Cup rugby next season.

Today marks the URC’s annual Origins Round, when we recognise the pathways that our players have taken to get to where they are today. Here in Connacht we are proud to have six homegrown players in the starting XV, with all four corners of the province represented. When the squad take to the field later, keep an eye on the special Schools Guard of Honour, when over 20 junior cycle students from schools across Connacht will clap the players onto the field – a simple but powerful way of acknowledging the importance of the school system in Connacht.

Finally I want to welcome our visitors from Glasgow, whether it be players, management or travelling support. We hope you enjoy your stay in the West of Ireland and we look forward to returning the favour in Scotstoun next season.

Thank you, and enjoy the day.

Connachta Abú!

Connacht Rugby President, 2025/26

Denis Buckley: Making home advantage count

As Denis Buckley looks ahead to Saturday’s United Rugby Championship clash with Glasgow Warriors, the experienced Connacht prop knows exactly what is coming down the tracks.

League leaders Glasgow arrive to Dexcom Stadium for a 3pm kick-off in what will be the first game in a month for both sides, adding an extra layer of intrigue.

“It’s been a long few weeks without a game,” Buckley said in the build-up. “When you get a break like that at this stage of the season, you’re itching to get back out there. The energy in training has been really good, but there’s nothing like match day, especially at home.”

Connacht return to action on the back of a dramatic victory over Zebre Parma last time out. With the clock deep in the red, Oisin McCormack powered over in the 91st minute to seal a crucial bonus-point win for Stuart Lancaster’s side.

“It was some finish,” Buckley recalled. “To stay composed for that long and then have the belief to go and get the try in the 91st minute says a lot about this group. Those are the kind of moments that can really galvanise you.”

The month-long break has allowed bodies to recover, but Buckley is under no illusions about the challenge awaiting Connacht on Saturday. Glasgow have set the pace in the URC this season and have shown why they’re sitting at the top of the table.

“They’re league leaders for a reason,” he said. “They’re physical, they’re well organised and they punish mistakes. After a month without a game, both teams will be fresh, so it could be a real high-tempo battle. For us, it’s about starting fast and imposing ourselves early.”

Home advantage, Buckley believes, could be decisive.

“The crowd the last day out at Dexcom were unreal,”. “When the place is rocking, it genuinely gives you a lift. You feel it in tight moments - in scrums, in mauls, when you’re defending your line. That extra bit of noise can make a difference.”

With a 3pm Saturday kick-off, the province will be hoping for a strong turnout to back the team in what is a key fixture in the run-in.

“We know how important this game is,” Buckley added. “Playing the league leaders at home is a huge opportunity for us. If we can get our supporters behind us and build that energy from the start, it can really put teams under pressure.”

After the late drama against Zebre, Connacht will be looking to carry that momentum into this weekend’s encounter and make another statement - this time against the best side in the league.

“For us, it’s about consistency now”. “We showed character in the last game. Now it’s about backing that up against top opposition. There’s no better place to do that than at home, in front of our own crowd.”

Saturday afternoon in Galway promises to be a big one - and if Buckley’s words are anything to go by, Connacht are ready for the challenge.

Glasgow Warriors originally came into existence as Glasgow Rugby at the dawn of the professional era, before being rebranded as the Warriors in 2005.

Representing Scotland’s largest city, the West of Scotland and the Caledonia region, the club is proud of its connection to the local community and has firmly made itself at home at Scotstoun.

The Warriors are Scotland’s most successful club side, taking home the Guinness PRO12 title in 2015 to become the first professional Scottish club side to win silverware and reached a first-ever European final by competing in the 2023 Challenge Cup Final.

This status was further underlined in June 2024, when Franco Smith’s squad produced a performance for the ages to defeat the Vodacom Bulls at Loftus Versfeld and become the 2023/24 BKT URC champions – making them the first Scottish team to win two trophies in the professional era.

Also the current holders of the Scottish-Italian Shield and 1872 Cup, the club has been a breeding ground for international talent, with many
current Scotland internationals having come through the ranks at the Scotstoun side.

Backed by a proudly passionate fanbase in the form of the Warrior Nation, the growth of Glasgow Warriors was underlined in December 2024, when a crowd of 27,538 - a new club record for a regular-season home match – watched Smith’s men earn a 33-14 win over Edinburgh at Hampden Park.

One of the all-time great days

The boot of AJ MacGinty and Niyi Adeolokun’s try booked Connacht Rugby a meeting with Leinster in the Guinness PRO12 Final next weekend after Pat Lam’s men edged past reigning champions Glasgow Warriors 16-11 at the Sportsground (now Dexcom Stadium).

Connacht won another tight affair between the two sides a fortnight ago to set up this semi-final, and it was more determination that kept up the record of no away side ever winning a Celtic League semi-final, securing a place at BT Murrayfield in the process.

Warriors lost their talisman Finn Russell to injury less than two minutes into the game and Connacht took control of the game when Niyi Adeolokun touched down following a penalty for each side.

An unconverted Leone Nakarawa try got Warriors back into the game in the second half but two more MacGinty penalties, compared to a single Duncan Weir effort, were enough to give Connacht the win in a bruising encounter.

The game was stopped after just 69 seconds as Glasgow Warriors' in-form fly-half Russell went off on a stretcher following a collision with teammate Zander Fagerson, as they tried to tackle Bundee Aki.

Weir came on to replace Russell and Warriors were forced into another change with D'arcy Rae replacing Fagerson at tighthead.

When the game restarted neither side could establish themselves, with the ascendency in possession switching at regular intervals as each team struggled to get a foothold in the opposition's territory.

Warriors were awarded a penalty as the clock approached 20 minutes but Weir turned down a shy at the posts and Fraser Brown's lineout failed to find its target and Connacht escaped with the ball.

Moments later, and following a blistering Aki break, Connacht thought they had scored in the corner through Conor McKeon - however play was called back after the TMO adjudged Aki had knocked on in collecting the ball.

The home side were ahead in the 24th minute, but it was only 3-0 as MacGinty kicked a penalty to give Connacht a lead to represent their growing dominance.

The advantage was cancelled out within two minutes though as Weir bisected the posts after Connacht were penalised for not releasing at the ruck.

The visitors were forced into another change on the half hour mark as Simone Favaro fell victim to a another collision involving Aki and Adam Ashe came on to replace the flanker.

Connacht did get their try in the 37th minute though as Aki placed a kick through the Warriors defence for Adeolokun to skilfully collect and run 30 yards to finish under the posts, MacGinty adding the extras.

The reigning champions almost hit back before half-time but the Connacht defence held Nakarawa up when over their try line, with the referee then blowing for the break.

Half time: Connacht 10 – 3 Glasgow Warriors

Eight minutes after the break Nakarawa did ground it though. The Glasgow battering ram started the break himself with a short lineout and finished the move after darts from Mark Bennett and Stuart Hogg were stopped short of the line.

Weir failed to convert it though, a strong wind blowing the kick off course and meaning Connacht still led by two.

That was stretched back out to five after the 50 minute mark as MacGinty kicked a second penalty, only for Weir to return the favour minutes later as McKeon was penalised for holding on at the breakdown.

With 20 minutes to go Connacht only led by two but the home side were dominant and soon extended their advantage through another MacGinty three-pointer after a period of sustained pressure in the Glasgow half.

Connacht continued to push for the game-winning score and they thought they had it with eight minutes remaining but the TMO denied them again as Adeolokun grounded the ball but MacGinty was penalised for kicking the ball when offside, before it broke wide for Adeolokun to touch down.

When play restarted Warriors were given a lifeline as replacement prop Rodney Ah You was shown a yellow card for a high tackle on Hogg in the Scotsman's own in-goal area.

Try as the champions might to get back into the game, the Connacht defence stood firm and held on to win by five points, setting up a meeting with Leinster at BT Murrayfield for the Guinness PRO12 title.
