Ofisa layoff dents Connacht hopes

CONNACHT are set to be with-out Ray Ofisa for their mam-moth Amlin Challenge Cup semi-final against Toulon on Friday.

The Samoan flanker was replaced in the 50th minute after suffering a recurrence of vertigo in the nine-try rout by Magners League basement rivals the Scarlets. And Connacht head coach Michael Bradley confirmed he expects to be without his back-rower for the last four tie in Galway.

Bradley said: “Ray is now a big doubt. He had his some vertigo and we thought we would risk him today. But he doesn’t seem to be ok.”
