In Pics: Dragons 27 Connacht 19

Click here for photos from Connacht’s Celtic League defeat by the Dragons at Rodney Parade last Friday night.

Pictured above: Connacht fly-half David Slemen leading the visitors’ attack at Rodney Parade. Slemen, playing in his ninth league game of the season, scored almost all of the westerners’ points – a try, a conversion and three penalties – to take his league tally up to 50 points. His replacement Paul Warwick slotted a 59th-minute penalty which proved to be Connacht’s last score.

Connacht’s Tongan international centre Andrew Mailei tries to skip round the challenge of Dragons lock Ian Gough. Mailei, 25, has lined out four times for Connacht in the league but has yet to score.
