Sat 04 Apr 2007Connacht lose forward battleCeltic League/ Connacht 23 Glasgow 40: There was no final Sportsground fling for Connacht. That performance was produced by the Scotttish vistors, who ran in four tries and bagged the bonus point to maintain their recent momentum as the Magners Celtic League nears its end.The Warriors were fully deserving of their 23-8 half-time lead, having played Connacht off the park in the opening 40 minutes. And though Connacht did up the tempo in the second half, scored three tries, and came within seven points early on, the Warriors' physicality proved too much for a team in their last home match of the season.
