Re: Connacht's Game in Hand
Connacht have a tough week ahead.
Bottom line is we must beat them or they will possibly overtake us. If I were a betting man, I would bet on Connacht losing their last three games to finish bottom below us. Two poor teams.

Re: Connacht's Game in Hand
Neither can I but IF they did, they'd start as favourites against us at RaversRed Hand Hero wrote:At this stage i think Connacht are going to run out of steam certainly can't see them opening up more than a 5 point lead on us before they come to Ravenhill.
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

Get the passports ready for Rumania guys.
Interestingly the Season Ticket renewals promise 3 Heineken Cup matches - what the situation if they don't deliver. Misselling ?

24 6- 12 mins left - Connacht down to 14. Deserving of much acclaim for the sheer hunger they have shown - and some excellent rugby!!
Re: Connacht's Game in Hand
If they hold on, fair play to them. That is a weakened Connacht team and from what I saw they have played some excellent rugby, it wasn't Leinsters strongest team but any side with BOD, MOK, Jennings, Van Der Linde, Dempsey could hardly be described as weak.

Agreed.
Our only hope is that the Ulster boys are watching this match and taking notes on how to play for your shirt!
