Video: Connacht try to blind their players during hilarious team photo

The Connacht squad didn't enjoy the sun in Galway

If Connacht’s players have a heap of handling errors this Saturday against Bayonne, we’ll know what’s to blame.

In a rather strange scenario, the squad had their official team photo taken four months into the season this week, but they seemed to get their timing right on an almost literally blindingly sunny day in Galway.

But it wasn’t all fun for the players, as they had to stare straight at the low sun for the duration of the shoot, which resulted in hilarious results when they were finally allowed to relax.

Keep an eye on Nathan White on the right hand side of the front row, who seems absolutely impervious to the sun’s deadly rays, leaving us to believe he may have a future career as some sort of bizarre superhero.

We finally got the family portrait taken this week with everyone here! Verrrrry strong sun in the West ☀️
