Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - I kite te wa 2011<unk>12 i te maha o nga huringa i Connacht. Mo te kawanatanga katoa ko te wa tuatahi i te Heineken Cup, te whakataetae whutupaoro Pakeha nui. I tohu a Connacht mo te 2011-12 Heineken Cup na te wikitoria o Leinster i te whakataetae o te tau kua hipa, i whakawhiwhia ai ki a Ireland he waahi taapiri. I tenei wa, kua ngaro te kapa i etahi kaitakaro matua i te wa o te wa o mua na roto i nga whakawhitinga. I roto i ngā kaitākaro i wehe atu i te rohe ko Jamie Hagan te kaitākaro matua, e waiho ana i tētahi tūranga tuwhera i te kapa tīmatanga. I te tīmatanga i whakakiia tēnei wāhi e Rodney Ah You. I tiimata a Loughney i tana Heineken Cup ki Harlequins i te 10 o Noema 2011, i te taenga mai hei whakakapi mo Wilkinson. Heoi, i raru a Ah You i tana tuunga hou hei whiringa tuatahi, ana i te 10 o Tihema 2011 i tiimata a Loughney i tana keemu Heineken Cup tuatahi, i te kaainga ki Gloucester i te Papa Hakinakina. I tiimata a Loughney i etahi atu tukinga e rua mo te kapa i te Heineken Cup tae atu ki te kemu kaainga ki a Harlequins, te wikitoria tuatahi a Connacht i te whakataetae. Ko tana tuunga hei whiringa tuatahi i kawea ki te riiki o te kaainga, i tapaina ko te "Pro12", a ka takaro a Loughney i nga keemu 20 o te 22 i te wa o te riiki
, ka tīmata i ngā wā 15. I te Poutu-te-rangi 2012, i purei a Loughney i tana keemu 100 mo te kawanatanga, ka noho ko ia tetahi o nga kaitakaro taiohi rawa atu i roto i te hitori o te roopu ki te eke ki te tohu.
