Carr pulls clear as Connacht cruise

WITH only their second try bonus point this season, Connacht produced a five-try blitz to dispose of the Glasgow Warriors at the Galway Sportsground last night.

Connacht wrapped up the contest with two tries in the first six minutes of the restart, including one from Fionn Carr, who overtook former winger Conor McPhillips as the province’s all-time record try scorer with 33.

“We knew these last two matches were crucial for us,” said coach Eric Elwood. “Coming back from the break to get two victories and come away with nine points, we are chuffed. We believe in what we are doing and we are sticking to our principles — tonight we got our rewards.”
