Hugh Farrelly reports on Connacht's injury problems and the madness of TV-dictated fixtures in The Irish Independent.
"It's like a scene from 'MASH', there's bodies everywhere."
"Eric Elwood's description of the Connacht dressing-room in the aftermath of an unremittingly physical collision with Ulster on Saturday night left no scope for misinterpretation. However, despite the Connacht coach's wryly humourous take, it also emphasised the serious challenge he and his men now face, with their next assignment just three days away.
"Connacht are down to face the Blues in Cardiff on Thursday and, with his squad already stretched paper thin, it is fair to say the scheduling rankles with their coach."
