 Connacht turn their attention for the next two weekends to the concluding games in Pool 1 of the European Challenge Cup. Connacht travel to the Madejski Stadium in Reading to play Guinness Premiership leaders London Irish this Saturday (3pm). And then Connacht will host French side Dax in the concluding pool game at the Sportsground on Friday week (January 23) at 6.30pm. Bradley said they were very disappointed with the 17-14 loss to the Scarlets in the Magners League, having looked for so long that they would win having played some wonderful rugby. “At one stage it looked like we would win comfortably, then it looked like we would just win, then draw and in the end were left with just a bonus point. It was very disappointing,” he said. “We should have closed out the game long before they came back. “We need to learn how to finish teams off, that’s two weeks in a row we have let a side come back and beat us,” said Bradley. But he urged his men to bounce back and nail a place in the last eight of the European Challenge Cup when they play London Irish and Dax over the next two weekends. “We need a win and probably a bonus point from those two games and that is what we have to concentrate now. “We will be taking the two games as a pair. We know what we need from them and that is now the focus of our attention,” added Bradley. |
