Connacht want to hit the road in style

AFTER an opening day success at home, Connacht’s away form now gets its first test under Eric Elwood’s stewardship when they face the Scarlets at Parc Y Scarlets today (3pm).

The Connacht coach is hoping the “new mentality” of his squad will ensure there is no repeat of last years’s 58-10 loss at the Welsh venue.

“Our away form is well documented and that’s the challenge going forward, to become competitive away from home and give a good account ofourselves,” said Elwood.
