Glasgow were good but Connacht were a joke. They may have been rusty but their pack was non-existent mostly, they had no scrummie until Marmion came on, no centres interested in anything but boshing and one winger, the white one, who didn't bother sending his skin along with the bones to the sportsground. They should be ashamed of a performance like that at home.
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

Record defeat from any defending champions.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Re: Connacht 16/17
I really hope the wheels don't come off this season for them. Lam and Muldoon need to give them a collective kick in the ballix. Interesting on their forum that one of their main hopes is to beat us! We are their Leinster... They will miss Henshaw and look as if they could do with one of our centres. Hope it's just ring rust.

They can have Girrid @13
Re: Connacht 16/17
You can attribute part of that to their jilted pre-season. Don't get me wrong, they were still soundly beaten, but only having one friendly three weeks before your opening game cannot be helpful in the slightest.
You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.

Re: Connacht 16/17
It was a rude awakening for Connacht. Glasgow were humiliated by Connacht last season and they were seriously up for the game. The loss of probably their two best players was a massive blow for them and some of the guys who were playing out of their skins on the crest of a wave came back down to earth. Preseason was an issue no doubt.

Another tough game for the Westies on Sat night - 7:35pm KO TG4/S4C. Hard to tell much about the Hairsprays last week as Zebre were rubbish. Connacht to edge it.

Re: Connacht 16/17
Westies stuffed again 11-32. Only positive note, next week they travel to Parma, surely they can pick up a win there.
