Newly crowned giant killers Connacht, will have to do it all over again this Saturday as Toulouse travel to The Sportsground in Galway. Unfortunately Coach Pat Lam preparations have been severely hampered with the news that twelve members of the squad have the flu.

It is thought the quick turnaround of matches and traveling has had in impact on the spread of the flu virus. This news comes on the back of another setback with lock Michael Swift ruled out due to a broken cheekbone.

The outbreak of the illness couldn't have come at a worse time for The Westerners as Toulouse will be eager to set the record straight after last week's defeat.

Let's just hope they make a quick recovery and Coach Pat Lam can produce a special night for the sold out crowd in Galway.

Connacht have produced an excellent video preview of the tie which you can watch below.
