Tuohy brace not enough as Connacht fall short in Edinburgh

CONNACHT showed continuing improvement in their away form last night, grabbing a third bonus point on the road this season despite ultimately losing out against Edinburgh.

There was no repeat of last year’s eight-try mauling as Connacht kept pace throughout and created the chances to win it at the end.

Connacht coach Eric Elwood said his side lacked composure to make it count when opting for a scrum five metres out with a minute remaining, but insisted it was another positive step for his side nonetheless.
