And he will surely relish this break from the grind of the PRO14 championship.<br \/>\nWhat is certain is that this high octane five try to two victory over Jura mountains based French side Oyonnax on Saturday certainly felt like a change of pace.<\/p>\n<h5>Unique setting<\/h5>\n<p>In the unique setting of Swiss city of Geneva, Connacht completely overwhelmed the struggling Top14 outfit who had made the one hour trek east across the French\/Swiss border into a town known for fondue, chocolate, ice hockey and water sports but certainly not known for its rugby.<br \/>\nStadium refurbishments and a need to placate some Swiss sponsors were among the reasons for the unusual setting but the 30,000 capacity stadium was no more than 10% full.<\/p>\n<h5>Capable<\/h5>\n<p>Let\u2019s put aside the fact that Connacht are capable of beating any side in this competition in Galway.<br \/>\nLet\u2019s also put aside the thoughts that they have that 2016 Murrayfield masterpiece in their locker as proof that anything is possible in finals.<br \/>\nAnd let\u2019s hold our horses on arguing the reasons why Connacht can win this competition because first things first, they need a home quarter final in the Spring to stand a chance of achieving such ambitions.<\/p>\n<h5>Bonus points required<\/h5>\n<p>Five wins from six in the pool should secure top spot and with a couple of bonus points thrown in, they should be good for a home quarter final for good measure.<br \/>\nThey have the right pool to do that. The other three sides have all had equally poor starts to their respective championships, but there\u2019s no denying that relegation fears in England and France make such realities far more distracting for them.<br \/>\nWorcester defeated Brive on Saturday and come to Galway in good spirits this weekend, but their one and only priority is Premiership survival. Ditto for Brive and Oyonnax in the Top14.<br \/>\n<img data-opt-id=1030153190  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1162\" src=\"https:\/\/mlsn0ppbaqjz.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/craggyrugby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Pool-5-after-round-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"805\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlsn0ppbaqjz.i.optimole.com\/w:805\/h:240\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/craggyrugby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Pool-5-after-round-1.jpg 805w, https:\/\/mlsn0ppbaqjz.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:89\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/craggyrugby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Pool-5-after-round-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlsn0ppbaqjz.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:229\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/craggyrugby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Pool-5-after-round-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mlsn0ppbaqjz.i.optimole.com\/w:660\/h:197\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/craggyrugby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Pool-5-after-round-1.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mlsn0ppbaqjz.i.optimole.com\/w:450\/h:134\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/craggyrugby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Pool-5-after-round-1.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 805px) 100vw, 805px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Experience<\/h5>\n<p>This is why Connacht faced an Oyonnax side with 12 changes on Saturday.<br \/>\nTheir coaching staff kept some experience in the back line with Julien Audy at scrum half Silvere Tian at full back, but picked a pack of forwards that were large men built solely for physical collisions.<br \/>\nThere was only one objective from the pack, win the contact at every opportunity, no finesse, no interest in a running rugby or a varied attacking structure, just smack, bang, wallop rugby for the get go.<\/p>\n<h5>Trademark style<\/h5>\n<p>So Connacht came with a plan that seemed to have a bit of Nigel Carolan\u2019s trademark style in its origins.<br \/>\nThe assistant coach oversaw a famous U20 grand slam for Connacht back in 2011 playing high octane fast tempo rugby.<br \/>\nThe 2016 Irish under 20 World Cup run that saw them reach the final of that competition, showed similar style and approach.<br \/>\nThere is evidence of it emerging in the new Connacht set up too. More quick lineouts in seven games than we\u2019ve seen in the previous four years, a backline attack that varies the use of space and doesn\u2019t get clogged up with forwards and backs and an overall sense of an off the cuff mentality.<\/p>\n<h5>Big lead<\/h5>\n<p>The tone was set and the statement made in the opening 23 minutes as Connacht raced out into a big lead of 19-3. Three tries, one from Matt Healy who made a bursting run off the shoulder to finish off a try after great work from Tom Farrell.<br \/>\n<img data-opt-id=692648780  fetchpriority=\"high\"
