Stephen Kenny's future now in focus

Success always comes with a price. Just ask Connacht, who this week are absorbing the blow that was head coach Pat Liam’s decision to accept the task of resurrecting the sleeping giant that is Bristol Rugby Club from next summer on.

Heroics on a European stage will do that for a career.
