Is that AM or PM? :)

I guess Eric was telling the truth when he said he had an injury list with 17 players on it :(

F**k it.

We're going to win this match. I dont care what anyone else thinks, especially Gloucester.

Looking forward to it now.
I was kind of under excited until right now.

We need everyone there, screaming the team over the line.

This is our 2nd last match in the Heineken Cup. It's what we strived for. We have to show up, and help lift all the players, and show Europe, and the IRFU what we're made of.

The last 8 matches are done. Can't change anything about them now. Forgot them and move on.

COME ON CONNACHT

Delighted to see McKeon on the bench. Think he is a future star of our backrow. Feel for Grace but it may not have been the smartest putting somthing like that visible to all on twitter.

There may be other reasons.

As for the rest of the team.........sigh!

I'm sorry, what?

So Nikora is injured yeah?

At this rate, it's almost as if we're trying out combinations without paying attention to what match we're trying them out in.

Interesting the only change I can see from last week is McKeown instead of Grace. I wonder if his tweet last week had anything to do with that.

I know... I feel the same. Game's tomorrow. Before the Toulouse game I was frothing with excitment. Literally... boss told me to go see the doctor. But it was okay I just had some of the ould rabies.

I'm trying to feel excited, but it's a struggle.

I think partly is because we knew of all our HEC games this is the one we had the best chance of winning, but our losing streak has put paid to any optimism.

Goddammit, this is only our second ever HEC home match, and we've only got 3! We need to make the most of this, after Saturday we've got one more home game then that's it, back to the Amlin.

Hype will come from results or a big team. Gloucester are a reasonably big team but no bigger than a lot of teams like Harlequins, Bath etc. who have come here before in the Challenge Cup.

Our results and performances have been so poor its hard to generate momentum crowd wise. I'm finding it difficult to generate any enthusiasm for this one which sounds ridiculous given its our first hc campaign but the performance level of late has been depressing.

If ever a team needed an early try to get a bit of momentum and give the crowd something to get into its Connacht on Saturday.

9 and 10 are a real worry as they are average at best!
