Ford gone from Bath and the rumour was they were batting their eyelids at Townsend, could hopefully unsettle the Glasgow team a little coming up the the big game :evil:

But probably not

Would this not punish the poor lad who was so desperate to see his beloved connacht that he was willing to pay 350 euro for a ticket in the gods?

I thought the odd sighting of a tout outside the SG was proof Connacht were going places, but now our tickets are being hawked at a 1400% markup. We've really hit the big time!

In all seriousness, I'd be totally in favour of the branch taking details of that ticket from the photo and not allowing it's owner in on Saturday.

Does that mean he is out of the game on Saturday?

Fairly sure I read somewhere he was only released for last weekend so will be available

Such a enjoyable player to watch - mind you I thought players did a decent job nullifying him as the game went on

He seemed to get tired quickly but he is such a big man it's understandable. His athleticism is incredible though. He scored a nice try against Australia on Saturday. I couldn't imagine any Irish lock playing 7's rugby.

No, he's not going to London so will be available for selection.

Given he's conditioned to be a 15s second row it's no wonder he was knackered by the final.

He played almost the full 80 minutes against Connacht last time out. Surely he won't be able to do that again.

However , this is my main gripe of the day and it just really pissed me off when i seen it. Some scumbag is selling a ticket to the game for at 350 euro. What an absolute scumbag and a connacht man from Mayo aswell. Many real genuine connacht fans wanted tickets to this and then to see this really annoyed me. Anyways lads take care

€350 for the Bohermore Terrace. Is he 'aving a giraffe?

112mins? Where'd that number come from?

Excellent news, should hopefully even things up a bit for us in the scrum.

We might get away without our best front re Glasgow as it is not exactly a strength of theirs either but I still wouldn't be taking anything for granted.

Puafisi has been banned for three weeks, glad to see it as we can't allow reckless head butts like that in the game. He's a quality prop and Glasgow will miss him a lot IMO.

Someone will have to order my pints at half time so, and keep my spot

Is this our biggest ever home game?
I mean in terms of what is to play for? Toulouse was obviously massive, but that was one game in a six game mini league.
Toulon in the Challenge Cup was massive, but that was a knock out competition.
This is our chance to reach our first ever final for our league.
When you think about it, the Pro12 is our bread and butter. Europe is nice, and offers a wonderful opportunity, but the league is what we play for, week in, week out.

Now we have the opportunity, at home, to knock out the defending champions
Win this weekend, and we have an 83% chance of being a top seed in next seasons Champions Cup
Win this weekend, and we set up an All Ireland final
Win this weekend, and we're in the Final. Where we have an unbelievable opportunity to become Champions of the Pro 12. Be the team, that everyone is looking up to. Be the team, that when everyone plays against next season, refers to us as the Champions

We're Connacht, patronizingly, everyone's second favorite team
We're Connacht, a team based in the smallest, least populated, least funded province
We're Connacht, a team, who the papers forgot existed until only a few years ago
We're Connacht, a team who players saw as a Shop Window
We're Connacht, a team who plays on a pitch that is surrounding by a dog track, with temporary sheds used as toilets.
We're Connacht, a team that other teams used to consider an easy 4 points, and who would routinely send there 2nd string team to play

Now we're Connacht, one win from the Pro 12 Grand Final
We're Connacht, the team who in the last 12 months, have beaten Leinster, Munster, Glasgow, Ospreys, Scarlets, Cardiff, Dragons, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Brive, Zebre, and Treviso in the Sportsground.

I first went to a Connacht game in September 2006. I have no stats in front of me, but I'd estimate that there was less than 1000 fans there, many of whom were only there for the Dogs.
This Saturday, we will have The Sportsground. Sold out for the 4th game in a row.

Lets get there early on Saturday. Make some noise. Intimidate the hell out of Glasgow. Raise our boys spirits. And cheer them on to a memorable victory, before all booking our trip to Edinburgh

Can't wait for it now.
Come on Connacht

We should send you into the dressing room before the game, and at half time if necessary.

Thats some list of teams, when you see them all laid out!

13 wins out of 14 matches at home this year! (You forgot Enisei by the way).
