Further improvements the key for Elwood

Having guided Connacht to a record high finish of eighth in the RaboDirect PRO12 and seen them compete in their first ever Heineken Cup, head coach Eric Elwood is determined to keep taking the western province to new heights.

The all-Irish meeting of Leinster and Ulster in last year’s Heineken Cup final ensured Connacht’s involvement in Europe’s premier club competition for a second consecutive season.
