Connacht Rugby has confirmed their interprovincial derby against Munster in the URC next March will be played at Castlebar's MacHale Park.

It's the first-time a competitive Connacht fixture will be played in Mayo in the professional era.

The game at the home of Mayo GAA takes place on Saturday, March 29th with kick-off at 2.30pm.

Mayo are due to host Sligo at the same venue in the Connacht football championship the following weekend.

Robbie Henshaw has signed a two-year contract extension with Leinster and the IRFU.

The 31-year-old centre first played for Leinster in 2016 and has since scored 20 tries in 93 games.

Ulster could welcome back Ireland internationals Iain Henderson, Nick Timony and Cormac Izuchukwu for Saturday's trip to Connacht.

The trio have trained with the province today, as they step up their recoveries from injuries sustained against Bordeaux.

A decision on centre Stuart McCloskey and winger Zac Ward's fitness will be made later in the week, with both set to have scans on issues picked up in Friday's loss to Munster.
