Dragons slayed in Connacht hammering
By Jack Davies
Connacht powered to a thumping 33-12 victory over the Dragons in the Pro14 on Saturday, racking up a bonus point by half-time in Galway.
James Cannon, Darragh Leader, Colby Fainga'a and Tom McCartney all crossed before the break, while the kicking of David Horwitz topped them up to 26.
The Irish province had two further tries ruled out by the TMO before the Dragons finally got on the board through a Hallam Amos try.
Connacht soon stretched their advantage once more thanks to a converted Tom Farrell try, and Taine Basham's late score was little more than a consolation for the Newport-based side.
The result lifts Connacht to third in Conference A, while the Dragons are level on points with the Southern Kings at the bottom of Conference B.
In the day's early kick-off, Ulster went second in Conference B with a hard-fought home win against Benetton Treviso, thanks to tries from Sean Reidy and Rob Herring.

“upon leaving said establishment I tripped over a stool knocking some bottles into the air and as I fell I accidently dislodged a police officer’s teaser who was passing by on an unrelated matter there by landing on said taser which caused it to discharge 50,000 watts into me. Out of shock I shouted Ireland are going to win the world cup. Upon waking up I apologised for the distress caused by my Ireland comment. The matter is closed. If you wish to pursue this matter may I remind you what I told Wayne Barnes when he sent me off. I AM A BIG ASS MAN”. Or was it “I AM A BIG ASS, MAN” or was it “I AM A BIG ASSMAN”?
