The weather did not stand on ceremony — it was typically wet and wild in the west — but it did not deter the 6,081 supporters who turned up to salute their most illustrious player in his final match in charge of the province.

Connacht responded to Elwood’s desire to sign off his current tenure with a flourish, but they were unable to record their ninth — and highest — number of wins ever in the League.
