Brilliant win- could have slowed down when they had a good lead but once the bonus point was within reach the lads kept fighting. Did very well for the 10mins sin bin (harsh decision). St. John of Muldoon a well deserved MOTM Happy Happy Happy :lol: :lol:

no worries fwiw I got it through wiziwig.tv, never used that site before but I think it might be one to bookmark for future games.

Overall some great performances by connacht, importantly everyone is starting to be used to within their abilities, ie, Parks is not being asked to tackle forwards and is saving his energy to create disruption. Those interceptions! The backrow is massively unbalanced atm with effectively three 8's in play, so imo the possibility of turnovers is significantly decreased. But they are all athletic men and covered a lot of ground and made a lot of tackles today and it ended up being effective, even if we are still missing Heenan.

The bonus point was fantastic at 55 minutes I would have taken 14-3, connacht are learning to keep their strength mentally and hold onto a game. When you consider there were multiple injuries as well, it certainly didn't all go connacht's way and yet they still managed to come out of the second half even further on top, really strong performance.

8-24 really proud of the lads. Dragons weren't up to much up front but as with Zebre we took advantage of that. Finally things look to be coming together, the defence looks a lot more solid and structured and up front we look like a real team.

Having said that no team has left Dragons this season in the league with a bonus point win or indeed denying them a losing bonus point.

Roll on Scarlets next weekend.

Try for Dragons but crucially Tovey misses the conversion. 8-19.
