    I doubt Marmion was eager to stay in Connacht.


    He had an agreement in principle with Saracens before his last contract (but Saracens ran into trouble).


    He was reported as unhappy with the renumeration of his contract at the time but he was betting on international appearances and match fees to make up the difference. That didn't happen.

    Well he was per Murray Kinsella.

    He had considered his options including Saracens after a massively disappointing moment in being left out of the RWC, that went against how Schmidt had selected squads for a decade, when he had always backed guys who had delivered for him. Fairly understandable.

    Where was he reported it as being unhappy with his renumeration? Never heard anything about that and can’t imagine someone signing a three year deal in those circumstances.

    Stormers beating the sharks is good for us, but the Stormers winger chucking one over the line with the last play of the game which would have denied sharks the losing bonus point is unfortunate.

    Means we can't go into 7th today but can close to within 1 and probably better their points difference.

    Bunch just said delahunt has been let got next year; I know that was rumoured but has there been any confirmation of that?

    Edit: the dragons pack is not bad looking....with Carty out this looks a little more challenging

    Butchering a try against 13 and then conceding a penalty against the head. Christ above.

    Crap 9 and a crap 10. As said Hackshaw is a good centre but a rubbish 10. It is what it always was. God these team selections would make you cry. I have no doubts we will get the bonus point but if you can't see the rubbish involved then you miss the problem

    Have to say, Connacht look much better in attack when Blade isn’t involved in the play. He’s very slow to decide what to do.

    You could see that coming a mile off. 10 mins against 13 men and the score 0-7 in that time......only Connacht

    An intercept with 13 men. Criminal but fair play to the Dragon lad for shooting up.

    I've not seen a tap and go messed up that badly maybe ever at professional level. Almost impressive as much as infuriating.

    Bolton the only lad that is going well.

    Regardless even if we win with a BP, this game is like a pre season. Dreadful is the best word I can think of
