Is it being televised?

Obvious SA will win well but not by that much, 45 maybe. I'll probably be proven very wrong tommorrow. Hopefully it'll be a good game anyway and not a battle at bayonne type one.

Interesting to see Pienaar at out half, forced conversion? ('scuse the pun)

Still reckon the 'Boks are the guys in the long grass this world cup. Given what's happening down there at the moment its their last chance for a long long time...

Look at their pack, man mountains, Munster on steroids.

Selected VS Connacht still a strong team, would reckon a rout.

Habana on the bench... should give a hint as to where the game will be.

Connacht 0 - 3 SA coming up to HT.

Connacht played like dervishes in the first half.

yeraulone

Connacht 0 - -SA 3 at half time.

Not bad.

A good display by Connacht though.
Now, how do we go about signing up a few of the Saffries.:D

Well fair play to Connacht i dont think anyone was given them a chance of hell of evening holding the Boks past 80! I can imagine the amount of money the bookies have just stolen now! Great game great commitment! Shows you what any team can do if they put their heart to it

Connacht 3 - SA 18

Great team effort from Connacht.

Erin Go Brath

Connacht were unlucky not to get a try there near the end. Good game, Connacht will be happy they didn't get a hammering i guess. A bit more self belief and they could have had SA in loads of trouble. Hope they qualify for the Heine next year.

Irish Wolf

Lots of overtime in the next few months for me

Good work by Connacht.. sounds like 18-3 was a little flattering for SA..

Stev_o

Not trying to sound noisy Wolf but ehh how much did you end up loosing

SA weren't making any real effort, they are a lot better then we seen tonight, but fair play to Connacht... Johnny OC was excellent when he came on.

Sounds deadly, but it's not, I think it was some wildlife preservation gimmick.

Andy Dunne moved from Leinster

Yeah just finished watching it bit gimmicky all right:)

Delighted for Conn - fair dues!!!!!

Dunne was great on the rare occasions when he got game time with Leinster and I've seen him play several times with Belvedere. He's benefited a lot from the coaching/understudying Felipe he got in Leinster and will be an asset for Connacht (and may learn a fair bit from Elwood).

Even though I'm a leinster fan myself I'd really love to see Connacht do well considering they always seem to get shafted by the IRFU (even jake whyte had a little dig at the underfunding of connacht in the post match interview)!

Tremendous result from Connaught. Perfect pre-RWC match for the Saffies, unlike our own debacle!
