Connacht determined to finish with a flourish

Connacht are determined to finish their home RaboDirect Pro 12 season on a high when they host Aironi at the Sportsground this evening. Having picked up 15 points in their last six matches, Connacht can post a third successive win and leapfrog Dragons and Treviso.

Coach Eric Elwood says tonight’s game is a great opportunity to build on recent momentum which saw them overcome Ulster last weekend for the first time since 2005.

“If we are serious about the business we are in, then we have to win this game. That is the pressure we are putting on ourselves. To build on the momentum of our win away to the Dragons and last weekend against Ulster, it is imperative to finish the season at home on a high.”
