Connacht draw short straw again in bid to end losing streak

CONNACHT bid to end their worst losing run since the game went professional over a decade and a half ago when they take on the Dragons at Rodney Parade this evening. (7.35pm).

Connacht’s 30-8 defeat by Leinster was their eighth competitive loss in a row and this evening in Newport will bid to win their first match since October.

The only solace was a friendly win over Samoa, while Connacht’s clash at the Sportsground in early December with Italian newcomers Aironi, who have lost all 11 games to date, fell victim to the weather when Eric Elwood’s men would have expected to win.
