Connacht show their steel in bonus-point win

Hard to put a price on this bonus-point win for Connacht. Early in the second half it looked like their half-time lead of 13 points - well short of its target - would evaporate, yet at the end game the goal had shifted not to protect their lead but to deny Scarlets a losing bonus. Connacht ticked all the boxes - including a successful 80 minutes for Robbie Henshaw - and a crowd of 5,292 drifted off down the College Road to celebrate a very good game on an equally cold Galway day.
