Connacht are victorious in Round one of the 2015/2016 Guiness Pro 12 against a spirited Dragons side. The men from the west held a comfortable lead before a 75 min from replacement lock, Thomas made it a 2 point game. Connacht managed to mantain there composure and even strike back to see the game out. Fullback, O'Halloran was particularly impressive today and deserved his man of the match award. Thanks for following on Ultimate Rugby, until next time!
