Connacht gave themselves every chance of making it to the Parker Pen Challenge Cup final after a battling performace leaves them just nine points in arrears with the second leg to come in a fortnight’s time. They lost 31-22 but would be well capable of turning that around in the second leg at The Sportsground.

In the other semi final Bath defeted Montferrand 29-15.
