Connacht well beaten today. Jersey's maul was the story of the game. Connacht scored a good try in the 2nd half but had no answer to Jersey's forward dominance. In reality we were down so many players it was always going to be difficult.

What's the craic with McSharry though? Thought he'd be involved in this game

Maybe he's 24th man for tonight?

Dragons beat Jersey,
Jersey were winning and had a penalty which they decided to kick. Game over once the ball went out of play.
Took the kick , missed and it remained in play.
Dragons ran it back a few passes later and scored the winner. It was online & a bit of a lesson for Jersey

Lost 22-5 to Doncaster today. Unfortunately a bonus point for Doncaster as well. Dragons v Jersey in the other game in the group tomorrow. Unfortunately doesn't look like we are going to make an impact in this.

I know it's a long shot, but does anyone know if the Eagles game is being streamed online today.

Didn't get to it but heard we lost 34-10. Connacht against wind in first half went in 24-0 down. Obviously we were a bit more stretched with all the usual Eagles players we brought to Russia. Heard we struggled hugely up front. Awful day for a game to be fair. Doncaster away next weekend who drew 22-22 away to Jersey today.

Didn't know Ed O'Keefe can play centre
Good to see Marshall back
Was hoping Poolman would be available for this
Rather surprised Pat O’Toole is starting ahead of Dinneen
