Free-scoring Carty bids to build on Euro exploits

Connacht out-half Jack Carty is hopeful they can continue their winning run when they travel to take on Leinster at the RDS on New Year’s Day.

Carty’s superb form is one of the main reasons Connacht have chalked up three good wins in a row and he will go into the showdown against Leinster as the top scorer in Europe.

His 53-point haul as Connacht ran up four Challenge Cup victories has edged him ahead of Clermont Auvergne’s Morgan Parra who has amassed 51 points in the Champions Cup.
