Bradley upbeat as Warriors fall to determined Connacht

CONNACHT once again produced a European miracle, not necessarily with a stylish performance, but with the same gritty determination that has become their hallmark.

After a 30-20 defeat in England the previous week, Connacht subdued the visiting Worcester Warriors to maintain their push for a Challenge Cup quarter-final.

It certainly was not the greatest display but the host’s fortitude and patience eventually prevailed - a factor coach Michael Bradley believes has been encouraged by this season’s Celtic League.
