    So we just use a 5-4-6 strategy.

    Very quiet in here considering the magnitude of tomorrow's game. I'm hopeful we can do it - but certain we won't go down without a fight. Assume the team will be announced at 12. Some speculation about a 6-2 split, but I'd be surprised.

    It would be nice to give Marmion a send off in the Aviva rather than in St Africa. I don't think a 6-2 split is good against such a physical team.

    Deon Fourie and Marvin Orie out for Stormers. That’s decent news

    Being clear underdogs will mentally have guys fully focused for tomorrow. Let's limit the handling errors. Hopefully it will be a cracking game. Same as last week Connacht have nothing to lose

    Absolutely bonus territory now. Keep within 7 with 20 to go and who knows what might happen.

    Best of luck to the lads tomorrow.

    Jeez, my nerves were shot last weekend. It was probably the best performance I have seen from Connacht in just ever. It even surpassed the 2016 final for me. Can I go through it all again. Absolutely. Gwan Connacht and fair play to our supporters who went to SA. They deserve mention for their absolute desire in following our team. No matter what happens it has been an incredible season and thank you Connacht team for achieving for us. As fans we applaud you.

    It would be nicer to give him the send off in Thomond 😎😁

    will matter


    We have to change the software from last week low scoring game to a high-scoring one. We must'nt panic if we conceed 4, 5 or 6 tries, we do have and really can score one more!

    It's all about reaction. Don't forget we were in the game even after 60 bad minutes in September there, when we scored, before the try was rappealed and Aki sent-off

    50,000 in the DHL Stadium for this one, must surely be Connacht's biggest ever fixture.

    Fun fact, the weather in Cape Town and Galway is currently identical, 17C and sunny with a sea breeze.

    Mon Connacht!

    Connacht playing very well, Stormers looking like strangers in their own stadium. Very nervous.

    Like what I've seen from Murray, quick across the pitch, involved and a lineout steal already.

    Was Murrayfield sold out in 2016?

    Blade is such a liability at times.

    Such a soft penalty.

    They're starting to look really good too, not hopeful at the moment.

    Carty has made so many handling errors the last two games. Two knock ons already and failed to find touch from a pen. Just basic stuff.

    Our half backs will lose us this game.

    That try from Libbock an absolute gift from a stupid kick from Jack.

    Very poor from Conancht to leave themselves short on numbers on that side from the quick line out. Never seemed to sniff the danger.

    Thought that quick line out was barely flat... Might have been worth a check.

    Can't believe that yet again from Carty. A complete liability at the moment.
