It was another horrible collapse from Connacht who saw all their brilliant hard work shredded in the closing stages. That set the platform for Connacht to counter and Jennings did superbly to send Treacy through to score in the left corner. Winger Melvyn Rates got the comeback going when he crossed in the left corner after 66 minutes with Hogg’s conversion reducing the margin to 31-21. Scorers for Montpellier: Tries: T Darmon, L Akrab, M Rates, A Bernadet, V Welsch. Scorers for Connacht: Tries: B Murphy, D Tierney-Martin, F Treacy, S Gilbert.
