Connacht ran out 18-7 victors over Cardiff Blues in this PRO12 clash at The Sportsground today. Cardiff were guilty of a vast number of handling errors, and their discipline at the breakdown was very poor. Connacht dominated at scrum time and this dominance earned them countless penalties as well as a try for John Cooney. All in all a disappointing evening for Cardiff but a good win for Connacht who hope this will set them on a positive run of form once more.

Well done, Connacht.
