What position will Connacht finish in the Pro12? I'd take 8th with 45 points now.
Our flop of the Season? It looks like poor James So'oilao will arrive just in time to head off for the November internationals.
Top Points scorer of the season? If it's not Dan, we're in the soup.
Posted a few stats on what getting to 7th in the Rabo actually constitutes, the effect a defence coach had on our team here...

5. Biggest home crowd of the season (which opponent?) Tolouse or Leinster (leaning towards Tolouse)
6. Which (if any) of our players will make the final 6Nations Squad? Marmion and Henshaw to make warm up squads, Henshaw on bench in 2 6N games.
7. Shock of the season? Home wins in the inter-pros.

9. Biggest improvement of the season? Hopefully a more aggressive style, cut down on the unforced errors.
