I had a look at the Leinster thread on boards, and they had the Zebre team listed with a number of players with *'s beside their name.
No idea what they indicate, but one guess from a Leinster fan, was that these are players who have been called up from club teams in the area, to fill the squad during the 6N.
If this is true, we should be looking to run up a cricket score against them

*Mils is on the bench for them against Leinster

How many Zebre players are on international duty? It seems impossible to find the Italian Squad with club affiliations on line.

Rob really does set you on edge thinking the game might just slip away from the lads. Great start to the 6N period, now they need to duplicate this result (with a wider margin hopefully) against Zebre.

Stressful stuff listening on the GBFM. The lads give a great sense of excitement but I've never felt half as anxious stood in the Clan as I do listening to Rob stood in the kitchen. Sounded for a while like the break mightn't have done us any good but how good is it listen/watch us not crumble in the last few minutes like has happened so often in the past. You really feel something has shifted mentally for this Connacht squad.

A fantastic win. The fact that Dillane and Marmion were released from Ireland squad was hugely influential. This win and bonus point could be the decider in the end that will give us a top four position. Another BP win next week will do the just nicely. Had to go for a few pints tonight after listening to RM's commentary and heard a great story from a good Connacht supporter. As any good husband would do he booked a weekend away with his wife for Valentines , how about a weekend in Newport ? Problem was he booked flights , hotel etc many months ago, before match was changed to Thursday. He is leaving Galway early in the morning to go to Dublin Airport for a three night stay in Newport but no match !! That's love !!!!

Best part of this win is that with 5 points in the bag and the chasing pack playing each other, at least 3, and possibly all six, will lose ground on us.

A few of us there! A real good shift put in by the lads. NGD huffed and puffed for the first 15 minutes and looked like they might run away with it. What a second half by the lads. Great use of the bench

Super win and massive to get the 5 points.
Proud of our team.

I presume there will be no highlights available on any channel as there was no TV coverage. Or maybe there will be some snippets somewhere ?

Do we know who got Man of the Match ?

Craig got MOTM, highlights usually appear on TG4 or Sky

Huge win. Every game from here on in is going to be huge. I'm looking forward to them all, but the home interpros against Leinster and Munster are going to be huge. I really hope the crowds build. Exciting times.

11 points in Wales is a mighty haul for a season.
Outright top if Scarlets don't get the bonus and that's a position that could be defended for at least a couple of weeks.

Mighty result, considering leinster and munster have lost over there. A big boost to staying in the top 4. Thanks for the commentary lads. Enjoy the night !

Great to get the win in a game where our form was up and down. The bench seemed to have lifted us when we were stumbling .
Hard to listen to on radio then the stadium clock wasn't linked up to ref stoppages. Oh the relief when they had no more time to kick to the corner.
Well done . Keep stacking up the points.
Delighted

WOW!!! Thats all WOW!!!

I was worried the weekend off plus Jack's unfortunate accident might have distracted players, so its great to come away not just with the win but also the TBP.

Fantastic stuff. Serious result.
