Connacht need to turn Christmas disappointment into New Year cheer this weekend when they host European Cup champions Leinster on New Year's Day.

Connacht failed to arrest their run of defeats, falling to Italian visitors Treviso at the Galway Sportsground last evening, and once again they paid the price for a poor start.

Connacht return to the Galway Sportsground this evening determined to make up for last weekend’s narrow loss to Edinburgh. Having played most of the rugby last weekend, Connacht know they let themselves down when failing to take advantage of their opportunities, and coach Eric Elwood says tomorrow discipline will be the key. “What killed us last weekend was our discipline, the penalty count at one stage was 10 to two. But the best thing about league rugby is you can put it right the following week with four points,” said Elwood. “I think the lads know they didn’t do themselves justice last week so we’re expecting a big performance this week from everybody. We can’t change results, but we can change how we play on Friday.”

A man who claimed a lack of grit on the road led to his dangerous driving has been fined €250 for the offence.

Connacht coach Michael Bradley is upping the ante on his players ahead of tomorrow’s Magners League meeting with Glasgow at the Galway Sportsground (6.30pm).
