It’s the question every rugby fan has asked themselves at one point or another.
Could Robbie Henshaw do it on a -21 degree night in Siberia?
Well there’s a chance we’ll get an answer next season, after Russian champions RC Yenisei-STM booked their place in the Eurepean Challenge Cup after winning a two-legged playoff against Romania’s Baia Mare.
And with the group stages of the competition set to be crammed between November an January, the side from the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk are bound to be an away trip no team will want to have to face.
The average temperatures in the city are a pretty nippy -21 degrees Celsius, which even puts a wet and windy January night in the Sportsground to shame.
And we also can’t imagine any team will want the travel involved in an away trip to Siberia, with Krasnoyarsk being a whopping 6,000 kilometers away from Galway.
While Connacht may still have hopes of making it into the Champions Cup, their fate is out of their hands. With two games to play they trail the Scarlets (who occupy the last automatic spot) by five points, and Edinburgh (the last playoff spot) by four.
