Elwood blames spell of ‘madness’

ANOTHER frustrating night for Connacht.

For the second RaboDirect Pro 12 fixture in succession, Connacht, having put themselves in a winning position, surrendered a first-half lead when visitors Cardiff grabbed the victory at the Galway Sportsground on Saturday evening.

“Five minutes of madness cost us and it is hard to take. No more than the Leinster match, you think you can push on, but you don’t,” said coach Eric Elwood. “It’s frustrating to lose a game when you are 11 points clear. It has now cost us dearly in two games.”
