Connacht’s Elwood feels the frustration

Connacht 11 Scarlets 24

“We set ourselves high standards, particularly at home and we have faulted on two home games, so it is very disappointing,” said Elwood. An intercept by Scarlets’ captain Jonathan Davies inside his own 22 was a devastating blow for Elwood’s men, having led at half time 8-0 against the wind.

However the concession of three tries in the opening 10 minutes of the second half and a last-minute intercept deprived Connacht of a losing bonus point and ensured the Welsh outfit grabbed their third successive five-pointer.
