Connacht with nothing to play for and on a massive losing streak versus a Quins side playing to stay in the competition? Quins comfortably.
 
I turned over as soon as Connor O'Shea explained the Quins gameplan.

Flicked on now for last couple of minutes. That is some disgraceful weather :lol:

Quins been dreadful. No ideas, boshed every time they take it up. Care not bothered to make a break. Why is JTH in the EPS? This is the sort of game that he should shine in but offered little.
 
156 tackles made by Connacht

Ofisa 20
Muldoon 18
Swift 18
Naoupu 17
Loughney 15
Flavin 13
McCarthy 10
Wilkinson 10

Quins attack was poor, Turner-Hall and Hopper hardly threatened, I bet they regret going for scrums rather than penalties now, and Monye spilling that ball
 
Great result for Connacht and, in turn, Ulster, Toulouse, Cardiff Blues and Edinburgh too! I think the quarter finals will pan out like this:

Leinster (24) v Ulster (19)
Munster (21) v Edinburgh (21)
Cardiff (21) v Toulouse (18)
Clermont (20) v Saracens (19)
 
Jesus, Quins in possibly the best position to qualify and lose to CONNACHT away!!! :( Toulouse got exceptionally lucky with that result.
 
Got to give credit to Connacht: Their defence and work at the breakdown was brilliant, and they didn't panic at all for all the pressure Quins were throwing at them.
Who said Robshaw could play 7? ;)

Me and he can. However, if he's going to keep turning down kicks like that, he can't captain England. Quins need a bit less bravado and a bit more pragmatism.
 
Connacht are completely deserving of this they're a much better team then a lot of people give them credit for.
