Michael Bradley has praised the Connacht support that has helped his side win two from two in the early stages of the Magner's Celtic League.

Connacht have won away at Borders and at home to Ospreys, placing them second in the league behind Ulster.  Bradley believes that the fans have been worth a few scores over those two games

"The quality of the Connacht support has always been excellent, what we need is more of them to increase the volume," said the former Ireland scrumhalf.

"It was superb on Friday night the way the supporters got right behind the side, especially in the second-half when the game was hanging in the balance.

"That backing has to be worth a score or two. Let's hope we can build on the Friday night experience and the fan base will continue to grow in the coming weeks," said Bradley.

Bradley also expressed his satisfaction with his side's reaction to Justin Marshall's breakaway try just before the break.

"That was a sucker-punch," he said. "He took it well but from a situation where we looked like going ahead, it was a telling moment. But we spoke about it at half-time and I was very pleased with the way they remained composed in the second-half.

"We had a strong set-piece, the tackling was superb and there was always a great chance once players remained composed. They did and the chances came and were taken."

Those chances came in the shape of five penalties which were all expertly dispatched by outhalf Mark McHugh.

Connacht will aim to maintain their 100 per cent start against Llanelli Scarlets at the Galway Sportsground on Friday.
