This is Rugby Daily on Off the Ball with Bank of Ireland, a proud sponsor of Irish rugby, never stop competing.

Connacht get the playoff weekend underway tonight with a visit to Top Seeds Glasgow Warriors.

It was 10 years ago yesterday since the Westerners lifted the Pro 12 title under the stewardship of Pat Lamb.

And they head into the post-season in red-hot form, having won seven of their last eight league games.

On the team news front, Paul Boyle comes in at number eight, replacing the injured Sean Johnson.

While there's no Harry West this week, so John Devine slots in at outside centre, head coach Stuart Lancaster explained his team selection for this one.

You know, if he'd not done it well.

Geordie Barrett has hinted that he could return to Leinster for a second stint in blue in the near future.

The All Black Centre joined the province for a half-season sabbatical last year as they claimed the URC title and lost an Investec Champions Cup semi-final to Northampton Saints.

And he's revealed that he would be interested in trying again to help Leinster claim that elusive fifth star.

Barrett was speaking to Adam Ashley Cooper, Matt Gitto and Drew Mitchell on the Coco show this week.

Rightio.

Here is all you need to know ahead of the URC play-off quarter-finals this weekend.

So, Connacht are away to Glasgow Warriors.

That has a quarter to eight kick-off at Scotstoun tonight.

It's a 12 o'clock start in Pretoria tomorrow, where Munster are in action against the Bulls at Loftus-Versfeld.

Leinster welcome the Lions to the Aviva Stadium at 8 o'clock, and the other game tomorrow sees Cardiff looking to become the first Welsh side to win a play-off game in the URC since the Scarlets in 2018.

They go to Cape Town to take on the Stormers from half-past two.

That's about all for today's Rugby Daily.
