Connacht boss Pete Wilkins says Finlay Bealham has given Andy Farrell a "neat challenge" when it comes to Ireland's next Guinness Six Nations match against Wales.
Connacht boss Pete Wilkins is confident Ireland duo Bundee Aki and Finlay Bealham will be "fighting fit" for the Six Nations after coming through a bruising Champions Cup encounter with Bristol on Friday night.
Connacht wing Andrew Smith says their Champions Cup win over Bristol can be a "turning point" for the team.
When it mattered, Connacht produced the goods and their European hopes are still intact as they trounced 14-man Bristol Bears 27-10.
It will be something of a friends reunion when Connacht host Bristol Bears this evening but former coach Pat Lam can expect no favours once the whistle blows.
Bundee Aki and Finlay Bealham both return for Connacht, among eight changes to their team for their final Investec Champions Cup Pool 1 game against Bristol Bears on Friday.
It may have come as somewhat of a surprise that Connacht left Bundee Aki and Finlay Bealham out of the squad for last Saturday's Investec Champions Cup loss at Lyon.
Connacht's hopes of progressing to the Investec Champions Cup knockout phase were effectively ended by their third successive defeat away to Lyon this afternoon.
