Connacht know they’ve plenty to work on

AN improved set piece is essential if Connacht are to have any hopes of overcoming Gloucester on the second of the back-to-back Heineken Cup fixtures and grab that elusive win.

Although they held the English premiership outfit to 14-11 last weekend at the Sportground, and gained their first Heineken Cup point, Elwood says Gloucester will be more difficult to beat at Kingsholm today (3.40pm)

“We know we are capable of mixing with this opposition, but they will be a different proposition at home, and that’s the challenge for us,” he says.
