Elwood aims to depart with points in bag

In a night of farewells, Connacht bring the curtain down on this season’s RaboDirect Pro12 tonight when they entertain semi-finalists Glasgow Warriors at the Sportsground.

The Warriors travel with a huge incentive — to become the first Scottish outfit to grab a home semi-final in the league — while Connacht have more emotional motivations, none more so than to bid farewell to the province’s favourite rugby son, coach Eric Elwood, in his final game in charge.

However, Elwood, 24 years involved as a player and coach, says he will be putting his feelings on hold until after the final whistle.
