Actually although missed the tackle for the first try, clarke was mega. oozed class and calm..

...and i think when really needed and the others looked to him, they had that calm in last few mins.

Could say was ref was harsh in regards robbies try but iv seen tries similar to Marimons not given so let bygones be bygones..

Roll on next Sat, it be too cheeky to ask for Back to Back wins? i think not - on the lads!!

Lam for lifelong coach!

Superb performance, Marmion is a future captain imo, one of the somewhat underrated things he does amazingly well is to wrap up the opposition 8 coming from the back of a scrum, did it at least once to Picamoles who isn't a player you stop easily. Henshaw showed his class, strength, decision making and passing are all on the up. Super effort from 1-23, this is a watershed moment and its up to the players and coaches to set this standard from now on. Starting to see some real structures in place around the field, at the breakdown, line speed as mentioned, starting to understand when and how to run it from the 22, some variation in the dummy run moves in midfield would be nice but these will all improve as long as everyone involved keeps their heads and sees this as a chance to build a season around this performance.

I can hardly write this but Im so proud of that win. To shove it back down the throat of the haters is great but the way we won it wow. This is Connachts biggest win and deservedly so. I love this team so much and for all the bad days we have this wipes them all away.

What a game eh!!

What odds on a win?
What odds on all 4 Irish provinces winning this weekend?

Personally I am very very happy for the whole squad, but you know what, I am really happy for Pat Lam, as he has got some serious stick at times.

He made the right changes at the right times. We need to get behind him.

Most players played very well, but for me Marmion again was involved in everything good and to be fair the backrow seemed to have good balance to it. Something we havent always had.

Shane Horgan called it right that the line speed in defence probably won the game for us. but we were very creative too I felt. Some very creative play.

Also delighted for new boys clarke and heenan as at times this season they must have been wondering about their decision to come here.

Now no more of the eddie o sullivan shite!!!!!

Normally after a big result I'd say lets see how we get on the next game and we'll see if we are making progress but to hell with all that kind of thing. On an absolute high at the moment. For everyone who has been supporting Connacht through all the bad days this result would nearly bring you to tears. For all the times people have said to me, Connacht are a waste of time, Connacht should be disbanded etc., Connacht has been the butt of every joke over the years. There were times when you just couldn't defend how poor we were but you'd still stick up for your team. Today makes that all worthwhile and proves once again the player in Connacht are plenty good to make it a success. I'm so proud of everyone in the Connacht setup, everyone who has stuck loyally by this team while we were and still are getting hammered by poor sides.

Lets raise the roof next Saturday for the lads. In the glass half empty column, if we had held our composure at the end against Saracens the impossible would be very possible but that's the only negative thought I'll have for today.

We have proven our worth, now lets do it again and again and again and show we are a team to be reckoned with.

That old dread was sinking in as Parks missed the drop goal and then was short on the penalty, but defense was massive on that last series, tackles were being put in by a bunch of tired warriors, Toulose barely made it into Connacht's half. Great turnover to end it.

Of course the same old question remains, can Connacht back this performance up with a win at home in the return fixture?
