Connacht dent Blues’ title hopes

IN a game that could have gone either way, Connacht were forced to accept a draw against a side touting title hopes.

Cardiff should have sneaked it at the end, but two missed penalties and a turn-over inches from the line were perhaps justice for Connacht who had produced one of their better performances at the Galway Sportsground in this season’s Magners League.

The Blues had travelled west in the hopes of maintaining their momentum for a tilt at the title, and they now find themselves 12 points behind Leinster, although with games in hand. However Connacht, having done Leinster this favour, see their hopes of catching the Dragons slip further away.
