Heroic Connacht shock Leinster

IT’S for days like this the underdog lives!

Heroic Connacht skinned Magners League champions Leinster at the Sportsground last night with a performance that will long live in the memory here in the west.

Reduced to 14 men for the last 35 minutes, bravery, passion and skill were three of the many key ingredients drawn on to plot this backs-to-the-wall victory, their first over Leinster since 2004.
