I must say well done to Guy Noves for giving an interview. You could see that he understood what Connacht was about. Disappointed as assumed Conor O'Shea would have said something too. Being from Kerry, he must have some Gaeilge also.
Just me being picky though.


Indeed, Noves is very much a legend spot on with his assessment but it's no different in French Rugby where the clubs are very much of their "Terroir".

For a moment I thought Conor was actually speaking as Gaeilge, then realised it was RoLocks dulcet tones.

I did like the balance of Bearla/Gaeilge, enough of both not to alienate either camp...

Fair fecks to TG4 for commisioning it (would be a cold day in hell before Montrose would) and Failte Ireland and the other sponsors for coming on board also..

Wonderful programme. Tears in my eyes all the way through. Very proud of Eric and the boys. Kudos too to TG4. The production values, camerawork, and music selection were all top class, and isn't Maire Treasa a little sweetie!

Nice interview. I know some people on here have been calling for him to be dropped but I don't agree with that at all. I think he's vital. Man of the match against Leinster like...

“I wanna f#*kin' win, I wanna f#*kin' win..............BADLY”

Agreed. Really liked <strong>the two Clint Mansell pieces</strong> just at the end during the Harlequins game. Thought they worked really well, but that's just because I love his stuff.


any names?

piece at the very start is "The XX - Intro"


The two pieces I recognised were from (first one) 'Moon' and (second one) 'The Fountain'.

I'd recommend 'The Fountain' soundtrack to anyone. (And both films by the way).

Superb. Really gets to you and all the guys were amazing. Good on the TG4 crowd. Hopefully it gets more people behind Connacht Rugby.

There was a bit of Inception s/t. Also, I think a bit of Sigur Ros. Very good stuff.

Feck the DVD, give us the soundtrack CD. Track 1: The rendition of the Fields from the end.
