I used keepvid.com/ to download the video. Just use the link above, with DOT replaced with a dot! Nice to have. It's not the best quality so if anyone has a better version, feel free to share :-)

I recommend everyone read Rob's fantastic article:

www.connachtclan.com/news/280-for-days-l...onnacht-match-report

Just watched the whole game again, man, we made life tough for ourselves at times, but what about that defense for the last quarter! If Marmion can't get into the 6N squad something is seriously wrong.

Thornley says McKeon made 14 tackles in his 33 minutes on the pitch

irishtimes.com/sport/rugby/nothing-to-lose-for-connacht-as-pat-lam-looks-for-a-repeat-performance-against-toulouse-1.1623530

but the espn site has him at 10/2.

espn.co.uk/heineken-cup-2013-14/rugby/match/191665.html'

I was just wondering which stats Thornley is referring to and how reliable are the espn stats? I notice espn have Clarke with no lineout steals but I can remember at least one so I'm not saying espn are gospel.

I noticed the same thing with Muldoon and a lot people were saying he made 21 tackles on Sunday but again espn have him down as 14/2.

Either way is impressive and one thing the stats don't show is the hit he took off Maka to bounce straight up again but i just wanted to get the right stats before I started making my celebratory t-shirt design, if anyone could point me towards some reliable info?

Great article and sequences by Murray Kinsella by the way
