Elwood and Duffy delighted with first win of the season

Connacht’s head coach and captain have both praised the squad effort which yielded the province’s first RaboDirect PRO12 win of the season against Zebre in Italy on Friday.

Tries from winger Tiernan O’Halloran, number 8 George Naoupu and lock Mike McCarthy as well as a 15-point haul from flyhalf Miah Nikora helped Connacht to a 30-17 win over newcomers Zebre.
