Interesting game in Galway tomorrow with Corinthians playing Terenure at home in a top of the table clash. Two unbeaten sides who both came up from 2A last year.

Some key players missing from Corinthians due to being on standby for Connacht. Eoghan Masterson, Aron Connelly both travelling to Edinburgh as cover and Denis Buckley in the subs for the team. Hard on them in fairness with players in the Connacht system and the Dublin teams don't seem to be as affected by losing players to provincial teams. Best of luck to the Corinthians.

Galwegians game cancelled I believe and Buccaneers should win up in Blackrock.

your thinking Conor Murphy, also a Corinthians (maybe former?) player.

was talking to a woman about him in the dubh linn in parma but i cant remember everything or much.

if O'hagen was NIQ i dont think connacht would waste time on him


Don't think the O'Hagan thing is true, but Finn Gormley has played for Norway

He's 18 and just out of school, O'Hagan hasn't played international rugby other than Ireland u18

Both Carty and O'Hagan both showed that they are tidy out-halves

Pure Disney ending for Corinthians though with the last min kick to win by a point

Hate to be the Buccs No. 8 in the changing room though after he kicked it out with 2 mins to go


I thought the same, Carty and O'Hagan were both very good, Buccs had forward dominance in first half and Carty had more ball, in the second half O'Hagan played great as his forwards got better ball for him. I would say that Bucca got two fairly soft tries from cross field kicks from the scrum half, particularly the second one was very soft. Maloney was fantastic until he was carded towards the end.

You could not help but stand and applaud that last kick though, never seen Cloonacauneen rock like that. What a great kick , great nerves and great drama, I like that...Disney ending

some win to come back from 11-0 down......regardless.

really sounds like it could be another defining game for the club.

this sean o hagan sounds like a serious talent. need to find a way to get these players into pro rugby. gametime.....

who played well?

great second half. first poor, too many mistakes. myself and wp_rathead nearly froze to death.

buckley played loosehead, online match program was wrong.
both buccs trys were cross field kicks, second, lineout streal, rory maloney ran 20metres, cross field kick, caught and passed to henshaw. lovely

at the end buccs get the ball, number 8, kicks it out of play, about 10metres behind him, game not over. phase or two, penalty. o hagan kicks it from the sideline from about 40metres out, boom, game over.

buccs threw it away,

A great win by Corinthians by the sound of things. Last kick of the game to win 19-18 according to the Corinthians facebook page. Bucc's went in at half time 11-0 up.

Discipline seemed to have cost Bucc's as they finished the game with 13 men, was good to see Shane Layden back on the scoresheet and seems like O'Hagan had a cracking game yet again.

Denis Buckley is playing at TH tonight?!

Anyone got any more info if this is a long term strategy? Has he been playing at TH since the new rules came in?

Hope to see him back in the mix for squad selection soon anyway.
