THIS WAS A superb game, one that gave us just about everything: tries, comebacks, momentum shifts and enough drama to stop us mocking the Rainbow Cup for the time being.
Connacht did it the hard way, coming from behind in the second-half, ultimately collecting the points when Conor Fitzgerald, their replacement out-half, delivered a perfectly weighted grubber kick that bounced awkwardly in the end goal area before Peter Sullivan grabbed it to score.
