Elwood calls for reply to Aironi loss

IT is redemption week for Connacht, according to coach Eric Elwood. After a disappointing loss to Aironi in Italy, Elwood is banking on home advantage to help the province record their sixth win on the trot at home to Edinburgh this evening.

This is Connacht’s penultimate home match of the season and Elwood knows they must get points.

“These next two home games are very important to us because our final two games will be particularly difficult, away to both Ulster and Munster,” Elwood said.
