RUGBY: Connacht head coach Craig Hansberry and try scorer Jemima Adams Verling with Galway Bay FM's Alan Deegan after their interprovincial defeat to Munster

Connacht's hopes of a first women's interprovincial final appearance in seven years didn't materialise in Dexcom Stadium on Saturday (22nd August 2026) as Munster dominated to set up a meeting with Leinster at the same venue next week. Tuam-Oughterard's Ullian Eilian made a dream debut with a third minute try but the hosts found themselves 21-5 down at half-time. Creggs' Jemima Adams Verling got over the whitewash again in the second period but Munster were always in control. Afterwards, Connacht head coach Craig Hansberry and try scorer Jemima Adams Verling chatted to Galway Bay FM's Alan Deegan. == Connacht will play Ulster in the 3rd-4th play-off next Saturday (29th).  Kick-off at Dexcom Stadium is 2pm.
