Attention now turns to Saturday’s European Challenge Cup game with Bordeaux at the Stade Chaban Delmas . A win in France on Saturday will see Connacht qualify for the Quarter Finals. However, Connacht fans will also be keeping an eye on games featuring the other second placed teams in the competition as only the top three second placed teams qualify for the Quarter Finals along with the group winners. They are Northampton who plays Timisoara Saracens and Benetton Treviso who are away to Grenoble on Friday Night and on Saturday, Ospreys who are away to Pau and Pat Lam’s Bristol who are at home to Enisei STM. At the moment Connacht are the top ranked second placed team on 17 points with Bristol and Northampton on 16 points, Treviso on 15 and Ospreys on 12.
