Bradley confident ahead of Llanelli

Connacht coach Michael Bradley will look to his players to build on the confidence stored from their opening day win over The Dragons when they tackle Llanelli Scarlets on Friday evening at Stradey Park.

"Stradey Park over the past couple of years has been a good hunting ground for Connacht but that doesn't take from the challenge," he said.

"The Scarlets will be disappointed with results having lost to the Dragons and Munster. But they showed what they can do when they defeated the Ospreys.

"They have played a couple of games more than us at this stage and that will have to be taken into account. They will be looking for some momentum in terms of their position on the table.

"They would see this as a match they can win. But we'll be going to Stradey Park with confidence on the basis of the performance against the Dragons last Friday night.

"However, we're under no illusions as to how difficult the task will be," said Bradley.
