Rocky on a roll after rough start

UNTIL last Saturday, Rocky Elsom might have had doubts about whether his move to Leinster was a wise one.

It was bad enough losing his debut game to Heineken Cup champions Munster, but worse again a week later against Connacht at the Sportsground.

On a personal level, Connacht out half Ian Keatley rubbed salt into the wounds when he tackled the big Australian from behind to force a turnover and save a certain match-winning try.
