Connacht welcome record points-scorer Parks

Dan Parks will become only the second former Scottish international to sign for Connacht when he completes a move to the Sportsground this week.

The record points scorer in the RaboDirect Pro12 will move to Connacht on a two-year deal as Eric Elwood strengthens his squad for next season.

Australian-born Parks, who has amassed 1,322 points in nine seasons in the league with Glasgow Warriors and Cardiff Blues, recently retired from international rugby following the Six Nations loss to England, after winning 67 caps for his adopted country.
