Connacht and Munster go through at World Club 7s
Connacht beat Ulster 36-10 in their opener at Thomond Park yesterday and although a 19-10 loss to Buenos Aires followed, the men from Galway responded to beat South African side Golden Lions 21-19 – finishing second in Pool C and sealing a quarter-final place.
Connacht captain Shane Layden notched a first-half try double in that contest but it was only a last-gasp missed conversion after the Connacht defence forced Golden Lions to score in the corner as opposed to under the posts that sealed the victory.
