Full time 33-32. 2 BPs for the Westies. Good comeback given they were 25-3 down at one point. Will regret that 1st half.

I thought Gusher was bad but the two commentators where clueless.
It's a pity we don't get Glasgow until new year unlike the rest of the provinces. As they're there for the taking. Connacht according to the two idiots are title contenders?
Not pretty but a good watch for the neutral.

Watched the first 25 minutes or so and then switched off due to those two eejits. I considered just turning down the sound or switching to TG4 as they were doing ma heed in, but by the time I switched off I thought the game was in the bag for weegies and ref was handing it to them on a plate. Shows what I know! :banghead:

Had also watched some of the early Dragons v Zebre match and it was simply poor poor rugby. The highlight at one point was going to pitchside where one of their pundits had a boa constrictor round his neck - I kid you not. With dragons, zebra and also this snake, they thought it would look like a zoo. :roll:

D'you think if enough of us wrote in we could convince the Beeb to get Gusher a snake?
You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.

Another thriller for Connacht, beat Cardiff 36-31, 5 tries to 4.

Mind you, not as tight as the scoreline suggests, it was 36-24 well into "injury time" 80+4

Just put a period of continuity together beyond the ambitions of Ulster, 16-21 with just over a minute to go.

Calmly played out that minute until the clock turned red and boot it out, great win,...... Also beyond what a shįte Ulster team can do, remembering how we almost soiled ourselves trying to get the ball off the pitch :duh:

Yes great result and well worked. Welsh thought Tipuric would win it himself- he didn't- he gave penalties away. Contrast with Ulster is marked. Ulster looked so amateur!!!

Good on the Westies. Lam has done great things there and they play some nice rugby. Would like to see Fibber get a few more of them into the national squad.
