What's the weather forecast????

Decent, with little wind or rain.

A misty start to Saturday with fog lingering for a while inland. It will brighten up with some sunny spells and a good deal of dry weather. However a few spots of light rain or drizzle may affect parts of Leinster and Ulster during the day. Highest temperatures of 10 to 14 degrees in light southerly winds.

Good try by Connacht, but how come they got the benefit for having their heads rammed through their arses at the scrum beforehand?
Was it an early drive? (Watching it on mute with Chiefs/Clermont in another window )

Good work from Connacht there great pass from Parks to send McSharry through.

Edit: Connacht pack 885kg Harlequins pack 933kg ****.

Believe so.

Quins have the beating of Connacht here, very much so, but seem intent on committing suicide.

 

[big ginger 8]

Marmion has really improved.

I'd have agreed with Peat a few minutes ago but Connacht are really getting into the swing of things now.
19-9

Edit of course I say that a few minutes later Care scores very easily.

 

[big ginger 8]

That's a sucker blow.

This game has been great. Mcsharry and Marmiom have been brilliant for Connacht and Care.... Well if he surely has to be selected for England!

 

[big ginger 8]

Yeah don't know why no one ever talks about McSharry everyone's going about big centres here's one who runs great lines. He's been pretty good these last two years.

 

[Peat]

It seems I can stick to my earlier assertion! Connacht have no idea what to do when Quins get a rumble on and start moving it around, if they stopped looking for the killer pass everytime they'd be scoring more imo. On the plus side for Connacht, Quins look near as feeble in defence themselves, missing George Lowe badly.

Also, if you know that Nick Easter will be in the same spot for the same kick every time, why not react?

I like the look of Botica, potential poach ahoy.

What age is McSharry?

 

[big ginger 8]

What age is McSharry?

He's 22.

Just realised I played against Henshaw last year.

EDIT: Gotta love the way Sheahan commentates

Interesting tactic for Connacht 7 forwards 8 backs?

 

[big ginger 8]

Similar defeat to the one at the Stoop last season Connacht unlucky not to get the bonus point.
