Bradley looks forward to clash with Leinster

Connacht coach Michael Bradley will use the benefit of a brave fightback against Edinburgh to motivate his players for Friday night's Magner's League tie against Leinster at The RDS.

"It was hard to settle for a draw against Edinburgh because we felt we had done enough to win it," he said.

"We did well in a lot of sectors and we will go into the Leinster match in a positive frame of mind".

He said that they had worked hard on various aspects of their game during the week and was especially pleased with discipline levels.

"We held our discipline, we worked on that over the last couple of weeks. We gave the solution to the lads in terms of shape and we were very comfortable with it so it just goes to show that these guys can go toe to toe with anybody if they've confidence themselves which they're gaining every match at the moment.

"If you were to ask me before the match if I'd take two points coming off the back of three consecutive losses I would've said yes against this Edinburgh side with their internationals back".
