Pat Lam urges Connacht to seize European opportunity

Connacht’s long-cherished hopes of a first ever trophy will be on the line when they face Grenoble on Saturday.

“We set our goals at the start of the year. (Playing) Champions Cup rugby is one of them, and the other one is the Challenge Cup and we want to win that one as well, “ says Connacht coach Pat Lam ahead of Connacht’s European quarter-final in France.

“The carrot is a home semi-final here at the Sportsground which would be fantastic for our supporters, but our performance will determine that and it’s on the line this week. Win and we get another game.”
