Thu, May 17, 2012

Connacht seal best finish

Thu, May 10, 2012

Connacht signed off a most extraordinary season with a best place finish in the RaboDirect Pro 12 League.

They may not have done it in style, losing to a play-off chasing Glasgow by 24 - 3, but their improvement in all areas of play throughout the season ensured they finished in eighth place, ahead of the Dragons, Treviso, Edinburgh and Aironi. For the second year in succession, Connacht have improved their league standing - sufficient that if the Pro 12 was used as a Heineken Cup qualifier, Connacht would be in next season's competition on their own merit. And, were it not for two yellow cards against Aironi two weeks ago, Connacht would also have been in line for the Fair Play Award which Leinster collected.
