Joy for Bradley as Connacht take control
The Warriors had arrived on the back of an unexpected home defeat last week seeking revenge, but they offered little in the way of sustained attacking rugby after the opening half. While the Sixways’ fixture was a tight affair with the honours only decided in the last remaining minutes, last night’s fixture at a freezing Sportsground was never in doubt in a second half dominated by the home side.
Despite little between them on the scoreboard until Connacht extended the lead to two scores midway through the second half, Connacht always looked the more comfortable, particularly up front where they had control.
