Connacht coach Pete Wilkins said this was the perfect way to crown a new era for the province as they scored a bonus point win to at least book a place into the Challenge Cup knockout stages on a night when their newly named Dexcom Stadium rocked.

Bristol Bears coach Pat Lam said he knew that if they gave Connacht opportunities they would pay the price against his former side as they crashed out of Europe.

It was a sobering return to Galway for Lam against the side he led to the only bit of silverware they have ever won.
