Elwood expecting 'physical battle' with Ulster

Connacht coach Eric Elwood is anticipating a “big physical battle” when high-flying Ulster visit the Sportsground this Saturday.

Under the tutelage of new coach and ex-Connacht legend Elwood, Connacht have made an excellent start to the new season: picking up a bonus point win in their opening game against the Dragons; losing narrowly to the Scarlets at Rodney Parade and then picking up their first away win in two years at Glasgow last weekend.
