Connacht have received another timely boost with the signing of new contracts by forwards Michael Swift and Colm Rigney which will keep them at the Sportsground until the summer of 2008 at least.
Back rower Rigney returned to Connacht two seasons ago after a spell with Leeds Tykes.
Flanker Swift, currently in his seventh season with Connacht, is set to become one of Connacht's longest serving players ever.
Connacht CEO Gerry Kelly said: "They have contributed a lot to Connacht over the years and it is great that they have signed new contracts."
