The Irish Times' Linley MacKenzie reports as Aironi make history with their first Magners League victory over Connacht.
"Aironi became the third side to inflict defeat on Connacht in Italy this season, but this was one that many saw coming and had hoped to avoid.
"With the Italians’ continuing improvement throughout the season, Connacht captain John Muldoon says his team were punished for not giving Aironi the necessary respect despite their close encounter in the Sportsground two weeks earlier.
“Aironi have shown a marked improvement throughout the season and everyone knew they were going to beat a team at some stage. Unfortunately, individually and collectively, we made too many errors and you cannot afford to do that against any team in the league.”
