CONNACHT COACH Michael Bradley wants his side to take their European form into the Magners League - and is keeping his fingers crossed that a lengthy injury list will clear up.

Connacht have particular problems in the backrow with Ray Ofisa having to come off at half-time during Friday's 30-3 win over Rovigo. He joins a backrow injury list which already includes captain John Muldoon, flanker Johnny O'Connor and Colm Rigney.

Bradley hopes they recover in time for the Magners League clash with Munster on December 28th at the Sportsground as Connacht aim to build on back-to-back wins over Rovigo which gives them a great chance of making the quarter-finals of the European Challenge Cup.

"It puts us into a good position for the games in January either to qualify for finishing first or go through as one of the better runners-up," said Bradley. "We showed good attitude in both matches, didn't panic and thankfully got the reward."

Bradley also hopes that new signing Niva Ta'auso will make his debut in the Munster clash. The Samoan is in recovery from a broken arm and Connacht hope the centre will add a cutting edge to their three-quarters.
