Connacht need to end away blues against Cardiff

TOMORROW’S Magners League fixture against the Cardiff Blues gives Connacht an opportunity to lift themselves off the bottom of the table.

Connacht need to  end  away  blues  against Cardiff

With just a point separating these two sides, there is much at stake, and although Cardiff boast home advantage at the new Cardiff City Stadium, Connacht are intent on achieving a double over the Blues this season after their 18-16 victory at the Sportsground earlier this season.

Connacht’s greatest weakness has been their poor form away from home and it was the Blues who inflicted Connacht’s biggest losing margin in the league last year with a 58-0 victory. Add to that Connacht’s poor record against the Blues in Cardiff – the have never won in six previous occasions – and the odds are stacked against the Irish province.
