Cullie Tucker: 'It's just been tiny margins at times that have cost us a fair amount of victories'

Connacht interim head coach Cullie Tucker said that 15 bonus points — the most they have ever collected in a campaign — is indicative of just how close they have been in so many games in a season where they have won just five URC games but still remain in the hunt for qualification.

It’s been a decade and a half since Connacht finished a season with just five wins and back then that meant finishing bottom of the 10-team league in 2009-10 when they lost a dozen of their 18 games and drew one.
