Regrets? Connacht will have a few

Toulouse 19 Connacht 10: Two points. Two measly points was all that separated Connacht from the losing bonus point they needed to secure a historic first step through to the knockout stages of the European Cup and it will eat away at them for an eternity.

The worst of it all, is the realisation that they left it behind them.

Pat Lam’s side spent an age looking for the penalty or the try that would prolong their Champions Cup campaign in a frenetic final quarter but they coughed up ball time and again on a day when they were let down by their execution of the basics.
