Connacht Rugby secured a decisive 29-12 victory over the Sharks in the Challenge Cup at Dexcom Stadium. Jean Smith from the Sharks opened the scoring with an early penalty, but Connacht responded quickly with a try from Chay Mullins, followed by a conversion from Sam Gilbert. In the second half, Connacht extended their lead with two tries from Cathal Forde and Shamus Hurley-Langton, both converted by Gilbert. The Sharks struggled to find their rhythm, with Smith adding a few penalties but failing to capitalize on their opportunities. Connacht's dominant forward play and effective backline were pivotal in their commanding performance. The home side's defence held strong, limiting the Sharks' scoring chances significantly. Overall, it was a convincing display from Connacht, who continued their strong record against the Sharks.
