Connacht secure safe passage

Connacht 11 Beziers 13 (Agg 29-23)

Beziers snatched a late victory at the Sportsground, but Connacht won this Parker Pen Challenge Cup tie on aggregate and were rewarded with a second round tie against Pau in January.

The heroic performance in France last week was enough and, indeed, Connacht were unlucky to have narrowly lost this second leg deep into injury time.
