McCarthy desperate to repeat trick in Biarritz

Connacht lock Mike McCarthy believes his side can back up their superb victory over Biarritz by storming the Basque club again this weekend.

Their 22-14 win keeps alive their hopes of qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Heineken Cup, although they may have to settle for a quarter-final spot in the Amlin Challenge Cup as Harlequins are poised to top Pool 3.

But to nail that spot down in the secondary competition, where they have played more games than any other side, Connacht need to finish above Biarritz.
