Really interesting interview all round. One (maybe paranoid) takeaway from me was the way the interviewer said slightly under his breath "I know you don't want to talk about Robbie's future but.....", which to me implies he was told beforehand that Pat didn't want to field questions about Robbie leaving. To me, that lends credence to the rumors, which sucks. But like I said, maybe I'm just being paranoid.

When being interviewed on the Craggy Island podcast, Rob also made a point of how Pat didn't want to go into discussions about Robbie's future. I guess it's something they've all been told is off limits for the moment.

Or at least it was until yesterday, when Pat finally spoke about it www.independent.ie/sport/rugby/guinness-...enshaw-30884803.html

According to Lam, "nothing has changed" with Henshaw's situation. He remains contracted to Connacht and, while the coach expects the speculation to continue, despite Henshaw's insistence that he will see out his contract, he says it's no longer a problem for him.

"No, no I'm over that. People are going to keep talking about that, but nothing has changed," said Lam.

"No, it's not an issue at all. It's an issue when people keep hounding Robbie. he says he doesn't want the distraction, yet people keep hounding him on it.

"But for us, it's business as usual. I just feel more for Robbie (than) the people who are trying to get at him by doing it.

"It's not (a distraction) for us. I think it will continue because he is such a good player. But again, everything that we do has never been around what outside people are trying, it's all about what we focus on.

"There are outcomes, and things that we want, and people want to distract from that. But the key is the boys always look within and what we are doing,"

Apparently Pat Lam will be talking on Off The Ball this evening, not sure what time though...

Connacht brew up a storm that’s too hot for Munster

Great inside piece here from tom McCartney

Irish Independent, Declan Rooney: Connacht will have to lift it in France - Willie Faloon

Faloon has previous experience of the Stade Jean Dauger from his days with his Ulster and says Connacht should expect a lively welcome.

The Armagh man has been facing some stiff competition for the No 7 jersey from Eoin McKeon recently, and after spending the last two games on the sidelines, he is raring for first-team action.

I read that as well. I'm falling in love with Mils

I know it's early, but he seems to be having the type of impact we all dreamed about. Could he possibly be our Howlett/Elsom/Pienaar

worth a read....
