Elwood delivers home truths in effort to end Connacht slide

AFTER seven defeats on the bounce, Connacht’s Pro12 fixture with Treviso at the Galway Sporstground tomorrow is a must-win for the home side.

Coach Eric Elwood says Connacht need to “roll up their sleeves” to ensure they arrest their recent poor run which last weekend saw them fall at home to the Ospreys 17-6 in what was a winnable game for the Irish province.

“We have had harsh words this week and we have to believe in what we do; work hard, persevere, and it will come,” he said. “I was hoping it would come last weekend, it didn’t, but the lads know we just need to get that win this evening.”
