Wilkins says Connacht will need to park Leinster disappointment

“Yeah it's really frustrating. I think rugby is a game like that where there’s that many small moments and blocks in the game that if you get enough of them you come out on the right side of it."

Connacht coach Pete Wilkins said they will need to quickly get over their bitterly disappointing late 24-22 loss to Leinster and turn their attention to Bordeaux-Bègles in the Champions Cup next weekend.

His men, having come from eleven points down with 16 minutes left to take a 22-19 lead into the dying moments, were stunned at the finish when they lost a lineout with the clock in the red and paid the price when Leinster countered and Ciaran Frawley got in for a try to snatch it.
