Some great trys. Fair play to the Hooker for that individual effort and it was great to see the forwards running good lines. Can anyone tell me who was no. 3, 5, and 11 for Connacht?

Yes it does, the Exile will always be that little bit weaker at 19's because I'd imagine a good few lads in the UK that were available to the Exiles while in School either opt out during their A Level year or in their first year in College...

So Exiles would be be stronger at 18's than at 19's...

Anyone know how the prop, number 1, is? Went off with a neck injury. Did not look great but they are always very careful with this so hopefully the neck brace and stretcher were precautionary.

Wouldn't be too concerned about the result, the Italians (a national squad) are much further down the road at this stage of the season and having had a game against Munster under their belt already (and Leinster next) wil have be a little sharper than our squad which will be less familiar overall give the make up..

That would be 15. Cathal Evans -Corinthians & 8. Evan Galvin - Buccaneers who had the good games

The prop according to the website would have being Conor Kyne - Galwegians who is meant to be a very good prospect. Hope it's not to serious.
