Connacht DOR stands by selection for Challenge Cup defeat to Newcastle
“We picked a team based on form and what we felt was right for last weekend. We didn’t get the job done, which was very disappointing, so we have to own that. But no, at the time we selected the team, it was the right team.”
“We will see how he pulls up. We had him involved last week, but he picked up a knee injury, so he couldn’t travel with us, but he trained today and looked a lot better.” Connacht now need to put behind them last weekend’s unexpected performance and consequential loss to Newcastle Falcons, which, after three successive wins, denied them an opportunity of a top two seeding in the European Challenge Cup had they won.
