The action from the Guinness PRO14 Championship will recommence this weekend with all teams back in action for Round 12 after a break in the competition.

Connacht will be the only Irish team to play at home this weekend with Ulster, Munster and Leinster all travelling to complete their fixtures.

Connacht will welcome Cardiff Blues to the Sportsground with the visitors missing eleven players due to the Welsh national team partaking in the Six Nations Championship.

This may provide Connacht with a certain edge as they welcome back Bundee Aki, Ultan Dillane and Dave Heffernan from the Irish squad for this game.

Jarrad Butler returns to captain the side from openside flanker, with Eoghan Masterson and Paul Boyle forming the rest of the back row. Dillane is partnered by Gavin Thornbury in the second row, while Heffernan is joined by props Jordan Duggan and Finlay Bealham to complete the pack.
 
Duggan will make his first start for the province with his 7 previous appearances coming off the bench.
 
Caolin Blade and Jack Carty start at 9 and 10 respectively, while Bundee Aki forms an exciting centre partnership with Tom Daly. John Porch continues his run of starting every game this season, forming a back three with wingers Matt Healy and Alex Wootton.
 
Tiernan O’Halloran, who picked up some game-time for the Eagles last week, is named among the replacements having last played against Ulster during the Christmas interpros.

There are just six points between these two sides in Conference Table B with the Westerners holding second place and Cardiff Blues just behind them.

This game is therefore expected to be a battle with both sides grappling for points.

Their previous meeting this year ended on a final scoreline of 29 - 7 with Cardiff Blues coming out on top on their home ground.

This game will be broadcast live on TG4 tomorrow evening from the Sportsgrounds with coverage starting at 7:15pm.
