Elwood rallies his Connacht charges

Connacht coach Eric Elwood rallied his side for tonight’s clash with Cardiff Blues by urging them to show the spirit they showed in Europe this season.

He wants the type of performance they displayed which saw them finally end their run of defeats with a win over English premiership leaders Harlequins in their final Heineken Cup game.

After a much-needed two-week break from competition, Elwood says his players have returned refreshed and determined.
