    How is Griffen playing lately?

    Scored a try tonight anyway after some good work from O'Halloran. Seems pretty nailed on now as Connacht's first choice 13.

    ... Jarvis looked lively and kicked 2 unbelievable conversions. NOC was very very poor. So pedestrian, no invention everything was telegraphed and he failed miserably to get the backs moving...

    It's early days but that's fairly worrying. Some of the Ulster fans on here have been very critical of NOC and happy to see Jackson and McKinney step up to take his place in the Ulster squad. It's worrying if he's still struggling, but worst case scenario at least Connacht have some good options.

    fairplay to connacht. 3 from 4 cant really have any complaints. good to see the u20s winning the interpros even with a few imports aswell. dragons are actually quite strong at the moment with very few players away at the world cup

    3 imports in the starting team. Don't get carried away.

    I read on another thread that we are 'buying' the u20 title. Pure and utter bollocks. It seems some people see Connacht winning something and just presume we're not doing it off our own back. The fact is there's tremendous work going on and it's about time it got a bit of recognition. I hope we see an irish u20s team this year backboned by this Connacht team

    which guys were imports? Where did the exiles guys come from?

    And who looks the most likely to break through

    great result for Connacht. Nice to see 3 Irish teams at the top of the table.

    My poor Leinster lingering in mid/bottom table madness!

    delighted we won, but the first hour we were pretty poor
    also thought the crowd was pretty quiet for that hour, i know the rugby wasn't great, but we should be getting behind the team when things not going right, not all groaning- i mean the conditions were ****e out there..

    last 20mins were brilliant, Tiernan was superb all night- bright future. great break for eoins try and skip pass for Duffy's.. atmosphere really lifted when we started to get going

    and to who ever said we bought the u20 title- sure we hav no fecking money to do that even if we wanted to ha
