Connacht Rugby Thread - Part III - The Violence of the Lams

Diabhal Beag

Jesus he fairly chinned him too

Redo91

Fully sure he was going to bottle that!

Diabhal Beag

Rodney scoring the winning try to get the home semi and redemption is how Hollywood would write this

Neil3030

These BBC Scotland comms would make the Norn Iron team blush with their bias. It's genuinely like listening to live feed to two Glasgow fans on the terrace.

If it remans the same these play each other in Glasgow in semis


The commentary is bad alright

mansize

An Taoiseach present

Bazzo

Eh, we've run out of props... What happens now? Uncontested scrums but can they replace the player?

mansize

Sloppy play

former total

Ahhhh Healy.

Redo91

We are making very hard work of this.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

Times like that Connacht should try running at people instead of trying to dance around them.

former total

That is unbelievably brainless from Gray.

irishbucsfan

BBC Scotland's original opinion "he stood his ground"

Now, "Marmion took a dive but Johnny came out of his line"

Neil3030

"In my book, Marmion played it"

ROFLMAO

irishbucsfan

What a try!

Fair play TOH

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

Oh my! What a try.

Jayop

Great try.

Dave_The_Sheep

Especially given the conditions, that is a ****ing peach.

Diabhal Beag

Superb crossfield kick

dastardly00

You absolute beauty!!

Journeyman_1

Now that people have some interest in Connacht games, you guys might learn to make a match thread?!

That said, G'wan!

b.gud

Shane "King of the crossfield kick" O'Leary you beauty

Neil3030

Wonderful bit of mid-air beasting by TOH.

DDC1990

He loves his crossfield kicks.

Worked out this time.

Great stuff.

Jayop

These boys in BBC Scotland are just brilliant.

Neil3030

You could actually hear the co-com sighing in anguish when Connacht won that pen :pac:

I'm cracking up with them.

Connacht are a Mongrel team lol

mjp

Anyone know what day the 2nd 3rd place semi is to he played?
Pro 12 site says they are Fri and Saturday 20th n 21st but doesn't specify which is the sat nite.

This ref is diabolical

Jayop

Conspiracy theories about tg4 nit showing a replay now. Awesome

mansize

These lads are gas- drink taken???

Diabhal Beag

Tuned into BBC Scot there to see if ye were overhyping the lads and my word they're bitter about a punch up not going in their favour

irishbucsfan

"You'd never see that on a shinty field"

mansize

2nd v 3rd is Friday isn't it

Clareman

Just turned over to the match now, what was the Glasgow player sent off for?

Up to the broadcasters

Diabhal Beag

Ended the streak

Crimsonforce

Thought glasgow hitting form would be too much but brilliant by connacht. Defense was excellent.
Even.as important they'll have a sold out home semi final so more money coming into connacht

DDC1990

Great stuff Connacht, deserved the Home Semi-Final after the year they have had.

Need a repeat in a fortnight's time.

Billysays no

pure and unadultarated pride

TG4 just showed the schedule. Leinster v Ulster is Friday. Connacht v Glasgow is Sat.

Bazzo

Brilliant performance from Marmion, deserved MOTM.

DDC1990

I love that Michael D was there to watch the match.

Cosmo Kramer

Another great win and a home semi final, unbelievable stuff, unthinkable at the start of the season. Would have won the regular season outright had they settled for four against Treviso instead of going for the bonus.

It'll be extremely difficult to beat Glasgow twice in a row but I'd just about prefer to play them than play Ulster in their current form. Any of the three left would be tough but at least now it's at home there's a chance for Connacht.

And listening to John Beattie and Jock McStrap bleating and wailing from a commentary studio in Glasgow in the second half about the injustice of it all as they watched on in despair just made the win even better. McStrap couldn't even see the head charge from the Glasgow prop on the replay - it was hilarious stuff.

Zzippy

What a win, what a season! Proud as f*ck! Connacht Abu!!!!!
