NIYI ADEOLOKUN’S STUNNING first-half try was one of the many highlights of Connacht’s memorable victory over Toulouse at the Sportsground on Saturday.
The winger finished off an incredible team score which started when Ultan Dillane nicked a Toulouse line-out inside Connacht’s 22.
From there, Pat Lam’s side displayed all their attacking vigour with a move involving Craig Ronaldson, Bundee Aki, Caolin Blade and then Adeolokun.
It’s an absolute pleasure to watch, although had Ronaldson offloaded for Tiernan O’Halloran it would have been even better; although the out-half more than made up for it with the match-winning kick later in the game.
