Connacht expect hot water bottles to play a part in their Challenge Cup game in Russia

Throughout the week, we have brought you pictures from Connacht's trip to Siberia as they being their European Challenge Cup season. 

Pat Lam's side are expected to play in sub zero temperatures touching -20 degrees tomorrow against Enisei-STM in Krasnoyarsk. It is the first ever European club game to take place in Russia.

Connacht have released a video showing how the team have settled in with the locals and how the team have coped with the temperature change. 

Paul Bunce, Connacht's Head of Fitness says the temperature "has been a surprise for the boys". On game day he expects the subs to even have hot water bottles to keep warm on the sidelines.
