Leinster need to improve for Wasps
Cheika’s side started poorly and seemed in trouble when trailing by eight points at the break, But with Keith Gleeson and Shane Horgan scoring tries in a scorching second half, the hosts took victory — and denied brave Connacht a bonus point.
“The guys will be disappointed with the performance,” Cheika agreed. “But we’re happy with the win. Connacht always seem to get up for these games and we need to get our mentality right. We’re on top of the Magners League and we’re still in the hunt for the Heineken Cup, but a lot could change in a week. Of course it’s a boost going into the Heineken Cup. We want to try to win everything; we want to be as competitive as possible,” he said.
