p.S. Thanks for the link!
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.

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.
