However, against the Scarlets last Saturday, the success rate was a dismal 16%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The defence last season gave up scores 50% of the time in the Sportsground, and against the Scarlets in Galway, it was 100%. So restricting the Welsh side to 44% in Parc y Scarlets is a big improvement for the defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More composure with ball in hand and a more incisive attacking edge is required in attack, while the defence needs to continue it&#8217;s undoubted improvements if Connacht are to return to the PRO14 playoffs at the end of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Connacht lost their 8th game in a row in the Principality and continue their hoodoo of losing their first match of the season since winning the PRO12 in 2016.
