Connacht on course for quarter-final spot

CONNACHT are on course for a seventh European quarter-final after consolidating their leadership of Pool Two with a well-deserved victory over Montpellier at the Galway Sportsground last evening.

Unbeaten in this season’s Amlin Challenge Cup, and barring an unexpected mishap in Madrid, Connacht will seal a quarter-final place against a Heineken Cup side.

Coach Michael Bradley says he is now looking for an “impressive” clean sweep when they face Olympic Madrid next weekend where a bonus point will be the target in the hope of bagging a home quarter-final venue.
