Bradley pleased with Dax triumph
by Dave Maher, 13 October 2008
Connacht coach Michael Bradley was satisfied with his side’s performance in their European Challenge Cup win over Dax on Friday night, following on from the surprise victory over Leinster in the Magners League.
Connacht were 12-7 behind at half-time in the clash in France, before the Irish province produced an excellent comeback to emerge as 30-12 victors.
"The fact that the game against Leinster took place on Sunday night gave us little time to turn around so that presented a logistics challenge in itself,” said Bradley.
"There was little time to prepare as we had to leave for France on Wednesday morning.
"We were slow to start on Friday night but that was a much better performance in the second-half.
"I suppose, in the circumstances, it was understandable that it would take us time to get into the flow but once we built the phases there was a good cutting edge and the chances started to appear and were taken."
London Irish, who crushed Rovigo in their ECC open, visit Connacht this coming Friday evening.
