Elwood banking on Connacht revival

CONNACHT coach Eric Elwood has backed his side to revive their Amlin Challenge Cup hopes against French outfit Bayonne at the Galway Sportsground tonight.

After their shock defeat to Cavalieri last weekend, the western province have an uphill battle to qualify for this season’s European quarter-finals.

And Elwood isn’t downplaying the importance to this tie. He said: “For us to have a chance, we need to win this game. We have bounced back in the past and I have no doubt that we will again. But it will be a big challenge.”
