Topsy Ojo scored twice in the second half as London Irish ran out 27-10 winners over Connacht at the Galway Sportsground to take a grip of Pool 1.

England wing Ojo went over five minutes after the break before sealing the bonus point victory with a second score in the final minute to ensure the Exiles have taken a maximum 10 points from their opening two games.

Elvis Seveali'i crashed over for the game's opening try inside 10 minutes but it was Seilala Mapusua's length of the field score that handed Irish a 12-7 half-time lead.

Connacht hammered away at the visitors' try-line but when Fionn Carr fumbled Liam Bibo's inside pass yards out, Samoan centre Mapasua was first to react, scooping up possession before running 100 metres up field for Irish's second try.

Carr made amends within two minutes when the full-back slipped through on 16 minutes but London Irish closed up shop in the second half before Ojo struck late.
