Sounds like it was a true team effort. Outstanding win!

Well done lads

Serge looks bewildered in the stand

Though it won't count for much it would be nice to deny them a losing bonus point.

What is with kicking away possession with the team up 7 and 10 minutes to play. Fortunate for Parks he has been bailed out with the team holding up the Bairritz maul for a scrum to Connacht.

Parks again makes up for it with another drop goal to put Connacht up 19-9!

Drop goal with the advantage

19-9

Not sure about taking Marmion off this early for POD, has he taken a knock?

Connacht pull a converted try ahead at 16-9 with half an hour to play.

Connacht do well to play Biarritz to a 3-3 draw while McKeon was off so it's 13-9 to Connacht.

Sounds like things are building at the Sportsground. Will they have the legs to keep hings going?

FFS the garryowen should be outlawed as far as Connacht are concerned. Parks launches one into their 22, bad enough tactic as far as I'm concerned, but insult to injury, it results in McKeon getting a yellow card.

10-9 to Connacht at the half, but they'll start the 2nd half a man down.

Parks makes up for his earlier miss with a drop goal, 10-6 to Connacht

Anyone onto a stream?

Looks like Vainikolo has brought his international form with him, scoring a try.

7-6 to Connacht after Yachvilli finally connects after sandwiching a Park's miss with two of his own.

If anyone finds a stream, let me know!

I am very very excited for this game.

Kick off time can not come quick enough. A few drinks before to settle the nerves will have to be had.





C'MON CONNACHT

yep, that sounds like the kind of stimulating conversation I am renowned for amongst the intelligentsia

I went in around 9 to see if anyone had come along, but I just found Clan members. The main group in fairness would have been there except for their delayed flight. I has a work xmas party as well so I went back to that at that stage.
It's no problem though, we will hopefully meet up with them in the Clan Bar pre-match instead.

Are we all still hungover :sick: to give an account of the night?

I left early (10) and we had no Basque faithful by that stage. They main group were delayed so weren't out at all. There was another group but they weren't due in til later. Did they make it?

This talk of delayed flights is filling me with dread for next week.

i got in at 9 and main bar packed, back room empty but was kept for some party. i went outside the back and there were about 5 french fans there.

pinky i think you were standing next to me, i over heard you talking about flights and snow. you were in a group of 4 or so. i was the loner sitting down with the homeless guy kept going up to me talking crap :ohmy:

i left about 10, place was much much quieter. i was disappointed to be honest, though there would someone talking, taking the piss out of the french and visa versa. banter wise.

i heard great things about the meet up with quins fans in buskers before so was expecting more.
last night was more of a busy pub rather then gathering imo.
