Connacht gear for another tough Pau test

CONNACHT must again overcome the challenge of top French side Pau if they want to continue their assault for silverware in this season’s European Challenge Cup second round next month.

Pau qualified by virtue of a comfortable aggregate win over Italian side Parma in the first round, and Connacht's Michael Bradley is preparing for another tough assignment.

"What we know of them is that they are similar to Beziers, but more balanced, and we will be studying them closer later in the week," said Bradley.
