Connacht made a big statement on their return to the Champions Cup with a thrilling 23-21 comeback win over Toulouse at the Sportsground. Craig Ronaldsons coolly-struck conversion of Bundee Akis 67th-minute try proved to be the decisive score as Toulouse fell to a fifth successive away defeat in Europe for the first time in their history.The French giants raw power saw them open up a 21-11 interval lead, Sebastien Bezys three early scrum penalties topped up by tries from Yann David and Jean-Marc Doussain. Bundee Akis performance helped Connacht seal the win In between, Connacht had recovered from their sluggish start to set up Ireland prospect Niyi Adeolokuns fourth try of the season, with Jack Carty also kicking two penalties.Back in Europes top tier for the first time since 2013/14, the Westerners went on to punish tiring Toulouse with back-to-back tries from full-back Tiernan OHalloran and the talismanic Aki, whose centre partner Ronaldson nailed the all-important conversion.After a superb scrummaging display against Clermont Auvergne last week, Toulouse brought that set-piece strength to Galway with Bezy rewarding his forwards with three penalty goals inside 13 minutes. Toby Flood was full of praise for Connachts comeback as they grabbed a late win Two lineout steals from Andrew Browne and Ultan Dillane got Connacht firing towards the end of the first quarter, Cian Kelleher sidestepping through before prop Finlay Bealham was stopped short of the line.

Possession was retained and winger Adeolokun was sent over in the right corner. Yann David barges over for Toulouses first try Carty missed the difficult conversion but nailed a right-sided penalty in the 25th minute, and the home pack went close to scoring from a maul before Carty knocked over his second successful kick for 11-9.Bezy sent a difficult long-range strike wide of the posts after Connacht tighthead Conor Carey was warned for his angle of scrummaging. He also missed the conversion of Davids 34th-minute try, the strongly-built centre scoring in the left corner despite the presence of three Connacht defenders.Even better followed two minutes later for the small pocket of visiting fans, Toulouses offloads sticking and a free-flowing move full of flair ending with fly-half Doussain driving in under the posts. Jean-Marc Doussain scores Toulouses second try Having turned down three points on the stroke of half-time, Connacht blundered at the ensuing lineout and Carty also missed the first place-kick of the second half.The gap remained at 10 points after an equally poor kick from Bezy at the other end. The PRO12 champions, though, found another gear closing in on the hour mark, OHalloran cutting inside Gael Fickou to finish off Cartys long pass.Although the tough conversion proved beyond Carty, OHalloran, Kelleher and Ronaldson all continued to bubble with intent in the backline. They were aided by the timely impact off the bench of Kieran Marmion - the man-of-the-match from Connachts famous 2013 win in Toulouse - and the strong-carrying Sean OBrien.In a grandstand finish, Connacht kept grinding their way up into the Toulouse 22. Ugo Molas side were looking sluggish and Aki surged over thanks to a big hand-off on Talalelei Gray.The raucous home crowd erupted when Ronaldson curled over a peach of a conversion and with Toulouses error count increasing and a vital 73rd-minute scrum holding firm for Connacht, they deservedly held on in breathless fashion.You can watch Liverpool v Man Utd, plus Englands tour of Bangladesh and the British Masters on Sky Sports.

Hoefl-Rieschs exit — from the downhill course into safety nets, then airlifted from the slope by helicopter — left Anna Fenninger of Austria favourite to win her first giant crystal trophy one month after becoming an Olympic champion.NEW YORK -- Jamal Crawford was back in the locker room throwing up, a tough way to start a lengthy road trip. A little illness wasnt going to stop the Los Angeles Clippers. Neither is a grueling schedule nor the absence of their All-Star point guard. "For us, theres no excuses," Crawford said. "We have to go on the road and do a job." Blake Griffin scored 32 points, Crawford added 29, and the Clippers opened a seven-game road trip with their fifth straight victory, 109-95 over the New York Knicks on Friday night. DeAndre Jordan had 11 points and 16 rebounds for the Clippers, who dominated the second half to hand the Knicks their third consecutive loss. Carmelo Anthony had 26 points and 20 rebounds for the Knicks in a disappointing start to an eight-game homestand that matches the longest in franchise history. That doesnt guarantee any success this season, with the Knicks now 7-13 at Madison Square Garden. "It seems that we cant figure it out here on our home court," Anthony said. "But despite these last couple of games, I think weve got a great stretch that can work in our favour if we get some things right, adjust some things and figure it out quickly." One of those adjustments could be to the starting lineup, with coach Mike Woodson said he may have to consider it after starting guards Raymond Felton and Iman Shumpert combined for two baskets and five points -- all by Felton -- on 12 shot attempts. Anthony shot only 4 of 23 from the field, but made all 16 free throws in the first 20-20 game by a Knicks player since David Lee on April 2, 2010. J.R. Smith added 24 points off the bench. Its the second seven-game trip of the season for the Clippers, who will fly about 11,275 miles as they give up Staples Center for the Grammy awards. They went 4-3 in December on the first one, and got this one off to a winning start while improving to 10-10 on the road this season. Crawford couldnt even join them for warmups, remaining in the back with stomach sickness. But after needing a stunning rally to erase a 17-point deficit inside the final 5 minutes and beat Dallas 129-127 on Wednesday, the Clippers methodically pulled away from a 50-all halftime tie iin this one and improve to 6-1 this season without the injured Chris Paul.dddddddddddd "Something CP always says when we are on a road trip, Cant win them all without winning the first," Griffin said. "So to get the first one for us is obviously great, to get the win to start the road trip and help our mindsets for the rest of the games." The Knicks led 65-62 with 4 minutes left in the third before helping the Clippers pass them by continuously sending the visitors to the line. Ten of the Clippers final 14 points of the quarter came from the foul line -- one of them when Griffin was fouled throwing down an alley-oop pass from Crawford with 52 seconds left. Los Angeles then blew it open early in the fourth on consecutive jumpers by newly signed Hedo Turkoglu and Crawford, before Crawford nailed a 3-pointer to make it 85-70. Consecutive 3s later in the period by Griffin, Jared Dudley and Crawford, a former Knicks guard, extended it to 96-75 and brought out plenty of boos from the home fans. With the Knicks at home for the rest of the month, Woodson said he considers January the pivotal month of the season. Yet home hasnt been the place to be, with the Knicks absorbing their three worst losses here. And they could play this entire stretch without forwards Amare Stoudemire and Kenyon Martin. Both players sprained their left ankles in Thursdays 117-89 loss at Indiana and are expected to miss about two weeks. The homestand still includes visits from sub-.500 Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Charlotte, the Lakers, Boston and Cleveland, but the Knicks cant assume wins against anyone after falling to 15-25. "The thing that we have to do is just, we have to fix it," centre Tyson Chandler said. "Youve got to attack the problem head on. Theres going to be no pity parties. Just got to take care of it and fix it." The Clippers tied it at 50 going into halftime despite shooting under 33 per cent and going 3 of 18 on 3-pointers. Anthony was 2 of 10, but made all nine free throws for his 14 points. NOTES: The Knicks also had an eight-game homestand in December 1986. The Dallas Mavericks are the only other team with eight straight home games this season.
