A fascinating new book is soon to be launched which outlines how Connacht *twice* came back from the brink of extinction to capture the Pro12 crown in such glorious fashion last May.
The famous march by over 2,000 supporters to the IRFU headquarters helped save Connacht in 2003, but details of how the province’s professional team came even closer to extinction just seven years ago are outlined in the new book.
*Connacht — The Team That Refused To Die* is written by Galway based journalist John Fallon of Media West (Ireland), who has been covering the fortunes of the team for over 32 years for a variety of print, broadcast and online media.
