Connacht produced a brilliant comeback in the United Rugby Championship to claim a bonus-point victory over the Stormers in Cape Town.<\/p>\n
The hosts, who would have gone top of the table with a victory, led by 10 points with 17 minutes remaining but the visitors roared back to win 33-24.<\/p>\n
Connacht went ahead when Shamus Hurley-Langton crossed for the first try in the seventh minute after Deon Fourie was sent to the sin-bin.<\/p>\n
The Stormers led at the break, though, thanks to a converted try from Evan Roos and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu’s penalty.<\/p>\n
Ntuthuko Mchunu and Feinberg-Mngomezulu scored either side of a try from Paul Boyle to make it 24-14 and put the hosts seemingly in control.<\/p>\n
But John Devine quickly pulled another try back, Connacht took the lead through Ben Murphy and Sean Naughton made sure of the victory, with Sam Gilbert adding his fourth conversion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Connacht produced a brilliant comeback in the United Rugby Championship to claim a bonus-point victory over the Stormers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":405332,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-405331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/405331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=405331"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/405331\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/405332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=405331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=405331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=405331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
