I wrote a summary on the42, in the comments section... I be "R"

Connacht continue good form by getting the better of Pat Lam's Bristol the42.ie/4200491

Next week will certainly show where the team is at. But they are looking in good shape for sure.

Glasgow's fans don't seem particular happy after their team's 41-15 drumming by Northampton.

It's all looking great at Connacht rugby this weather. Was at the Wasps game and was really encouraged at how strong Connacht were defensively. Never mind their blistering attack, Healy and Farrell in particular. The win against Bristol probably was the most impressive of all, though I haven't seen any of it. Just the ability to eke out a hard fought win against quality opposition speaks volumes. New players stepping up, more depth than I can remember. Jack finally showing the ability he has if I still have reservations about his kicking. So, please God this coming season will be memorable for us Connacht fans.

Did not see the match.
Any willing to do a quick summary.
And who scored?

Can't remember us ever having as good a pre-season results wise. I hate friendlies as a rule but winning away in a tight game is always good. One of the big issues last year was how mentally weak we were away from home in particular.

Next Saturday we'll see what our real level is at the moment.

thanks very much for streaming, have a great night.

Thanks for the stream lads, great job.

Connacht by far the dominant side in defence. still a few mistakes to erase.
Glasgow will be a different kind of fish though
Thank you to the Clan for streaming

Brillant result !! Many thanks for putting up the stream. Nearly felt like I was at it. Only seven sleeps till the start off the season. Whoohoo!!

Somebody said Jim Beglin was streaming the match and I've been dying laughing ever since. Thanks for the link lads. Farrell and Copeland decent from what I've seen. Few butchered tries though.

Go to the Connacht Clan Facebook page think they are trying to do it there.

Any chance this is being streamed?
