I could be wrong though!


Ah jaysus don't tell me the prize money has gone to bailing out Munster and their Debt Star...

Its over a week now....and we still ARE The Champions...I'm not dreaming

I heard from a 95 year old Connacht supporter yesterday who simply cannot believe he would ever see the day. Delighted.
He says he is still is hanging on and waiting for a Mayo All Ireland.... so plenty of years in the man yet!

Harsh, but fair.

Switched on TG4 for the Ireland game yesterday evening and for some reason (they like winding up Leinster folk?) they were showing brief highlights of the Pro12 final. Stood there shaking my head for ten minutes. Still having trouble believing it!

A couple of years ago you would have gotten great odds on Connacht to win the league before Mayo win the All-Ireland.
With all the Elverys rumours, I think Pat Lam may be involved with the Mayo team in some way over the summer..... :pinch:

Even Pat can't work that miracle

Come on lads, 'fess up, who's rewatched it the most times? I'm on 2 but was planning a 3rd this weekend :blush:

I really hope there's a season review DVD/Blu-ray in the works at the branch. *insert 'shut up and take my money' meme here

I confess to watching it online on link to BEiN Sports provided on the forum, on TG4 player, on Setanta and also on Setanta with sound down and commentary linked to GBFM live match podcast, listened to all the Craggy Rugby podcasts on the match twice and am now working my way back through the podcasts from the season.
No I don't have a life and I don't care, we are the Pro12 Champions!!!

Does anyone know if the whole match is on youtube? I found it in two parts, but not one continuous clip
I had it recorded, but it seems Coronation Street was recorded over it on the digital box

Listening to the Sky commentators go from expecting Leinster to win to gushing over Connacht was great, especially Stuart Barnes, started out talking about Sexton showing why our back 3 weren't selected for SA, changing to 'Are you sure Joe?' re Matt Healy
