McCrea and Jarvis. Shocking really.

Are they woeful in training? Are they not enthusiastic enough? All very confusing.

McCrea is in the A team to play in Italy

Strange

I'm fearful we'll be on the receiving end of a thumping, something like 36-8 to Quins. Really hope I'm wrong.

Having seen the Connacht selection for tomorrow night I'm revising my prediction: 48-8 to Quins. And that's taking into account Conor O'Shea feeling sorry for us and telling his lads to go easy for the last 20 minutes. Prove me wrong guys please!

Not exactly the team that I would have picked but none the less I think we can give a good account of ourselves in our first outing in the H Cup. I think the subs certainly wont weaken the team when they come on. Great to see 4 Connacht born men taking to the field as well.

Hmmm ... no back three cover on the bench?? No Jarvis. Not entirely happy about that selection to be honest. Still that's the team that will take the field in our first every HEC match... Historical occassion! :huh:

Interesting choices all round. POD and McSharry playing themselves into the team, NOC playing himself out of it.

Strange choice for Henry on the bench. I guess they're expecting attrition in the centres, but would have preferred a back 3 player like Vainikolo. Or, better yet, McCrea, who can cover centre, wing and FB. If I ever meet Mark he better have a sick note!

Still, major congrats to our first ever Heineken Cup 23!

very strange not to see fets not even on the bench. could of being a great impact player to come on

No Vainikolo in the squad?

Nunquam Dormio is Quins motto. My nickname is Arlecchino.

I'll bring tissues to hand out in the Garryowen to supporters who make the flight over, not any Not Nots who may be plastics for the night 

Apologies Arlecchino.. Never mind the Plastic's they can cry all they want but your boys will be in for a surprise this weekend, you have never met our George...

Slightly sorry to see your forum has moved, as it makes a bit of chat harder.

Hope you enjoy your trip to the Stoop. Your guys did rugby proud last year with the pitch covered in hay to make sure the match got played at your place.

We've been putting Clare right on our forum about forwards targeting the fly half. Pass your tips on guys to the coaches, a few acres of space created by your forwards doubling up on Snapper will create space for Mike Brown/Ugo Monye/Sam Smith/Seb Stegmann/Geroge Lowe/Danny Care/Karl !!!!son which will suit us to the ground.

I'll be sitting in the front row of the North Stand, if you guys look down from your main seating block I will be slightly to your left of the posts, and the Guinness bar may just be open at the western end of the stand.

To mark the event I may have a pint in the Garryowen in my Quins quarters.

Enjoy the craic, but not the result.

Come on you Quins!
