This has been a really good game. Surprised no one has commented yet.

 

[Teh Mite]

Be good from an Irish point of view perhaps. If [strike]Quins[/strike] Nick Easter hadn't ****ed up so often this would be stupidly one sided.

 

[Groundhog]

wow pretty underwhelming harlequins performance to be honest

 

[dangandan]

True from an Irish point of view. I didn't think Easter was that bad thought he made a few good carries. I think if Connacht had a bit more ball retention they could have won but i was focusing a lot on them so i'm sure there could be points made about Harlequins doing whatever and they would have won by a bigger margin. But still, a good debut performance for Connacht considering the players they've lost. Griffin looked good and was surprised when Nikora came off because he actually looked good.

 

[Groundhog]

yeah promising start but no bonus point

 

[King_D'Arcy]

Both Connacht's tries were class

 

[Groundhog]

lucky but class

Eion Griffin was superb, I think he could be the long term successor of BOD. I have always been a fan of him. I think he has the perfect size for a centre and I think his creativity is very and great spacial awareness. Muldoon, Duffy and O'Hallaran all had very good games aswell.

The Quins showed some good composure to grind out the win and Marler really came into the game. They did however get frustrated by Connacht.
