Circumspect Elwood notes Aironi improvement

CONNACHT are targeting five home wins in a row for the first time since 2005 against Aironi in the Sportsgrounds tonight (7.45pm).

However, manager Eric Elwood will drill two words into his side’s head before they take the field: complacency and Prato.

Connacht’s surprise European loss to Cavalieri in Prato, which cost the province a qualifying spot, is always at the back of his mind, particularly when expectations are high.
