CONNACHT are on course for a seventh European quarter-final after consolidating their leadership of Pool Two with a well-deserved victory over Montpellier at the Galway Sportsground last evening.

Connacht will have to deal with an understrength Montpellier in the Challenge Cup at The Sportsground tomorrow.

CONNACHT’S European qualification credentials receive their first real test this evening in France when they face Montpellier at Stade Yves du Manoir (7pm).
