Connacht too strong for Dragons
- 882
Eoin McKeon and Danie Poolman scored tries as Connacht edged out the Dragons 16-11 at the Sportsground.
Neither side made much of an impression on the competition last season, and today's match offered an early opportunity to lay down a marker.
And it was a more controlled performance from the hosts in the second half that proved to be the difference following an evenly-contested opening quarter.
McKeon scored the first points of the season for Connacht after ten minutes when he was on the end of a fantastic team move, and excellent work from Niyi Adeolokun.
Darragh Leader was wide…
