Promising full-back Seán Naughton landed eight kicks from eight as Connacht secured only their second win of the season in a bonus-point victory at Dexcom Stadium.
And in the process Connacht showed that an Irish side can master a South African one in the scrum, with the solid set-piece of the pack providing the foundation for this invaluable URC win.
