Special award to Cows though for predicting Ian Porter as top points scorer.


Nevermind my comment about Porter.
I deserve a public flogging for not believing in The Freak

Thought I'd pop this one to the top to give folks the chance to review their predictions for the past season if they haven't already.

1. What position will Connacht finish in the Pro12? 6th
2. How far will Connacht go in the Amlin? Semis
3. Our player of the Season? Marmion again. He'll be *the* automatic Irish starting SH by the time the 6N rolls around
4. Our flop of the Season? I always feel like a dick answering this one but if Quin Roux is still loathe to tackle...
5. Biggest home crowd of the season (which opponent?) Leinster
6. Which (if any) of our players will make the final 6Nations Squad? Marmion, Henshaw and Mick Kearney. Rodney and Muldoon to feature in extended squads.
7. Shock of the season? Beating Munster in Thomond but the dwindling home crowd was so small that people refuse to believe it happened
8. Top Points scorer of the season (Tries, and Total)? Tries: Poolman Total: Ronaldson
9. Biggest improvement of the season? Muldoon to be completely revitalised by the captaincy. Blood and Thunder all the way.
10. Biggest disappointment of the season? No clear front runner for the 10 shirt

1. What position will Connacht finish in the Pro12? 8th
2. How far will Connacht go in the Amlin? Lose an away quarter final.
3. Our player of the Season? Kieran Marmion
4. Our flop of the Season? Don't like to answer this one. Everyone has a clean slate.
5. Biggest home crowd of the season (which opponent?) Munster
6. Which (if any) of our players will make the final 6Nations Squad? Marmion and Henshaw
7. Shock of the season? Maybe springing a surprise of sorts in the Challenge Cup, may be a couple of negative shocks though.
8. Top Points scorer of the season (Tries, and Total)? Poolman if he stays fit, otherwise maybe Bundee Aki. Ronaldson.
9. Biggest improvement of the season? I really hope its the defence and kicks at goal stats. Think the defence won't be as porous but still not good enough.
10. Biggest disappointment of the season? Still losing winnable games at home.
