Bradley delights in Connacht victory

AWAY victories are a rare commodity for Connacht; even more scarce are wins against English Premiership sides.

But the western province, in rediscovering the type of European form that had earned them six quarter-final berths, reeled in the years at Sixways on Saturday.

Not since a famous home and away double over Northampton in 1997 have they recorded an away victory over an English Premiership side – the year in which the Irish province topped the pool for the only time in its history of the Amlin Challenge Cup.
