We are not doing too bad really.
Not a bad game.
16-17 to Samoa.
Cracker of a try scored by touhy.
More or less same team that played scarlet away end of last season and got hockied.
Amazing what a change of attitude brings.

Great game, much better value for money than that crap on Saturday. Hopefully Connacht can win it. Very even at the moment.

Really great to have challengers for positions.

Given that the Connacht jersey is green, if we sew the IRFU logo on do yae reckon we could pass them off on Saturday? Might have a chance then!

Great match, very entertaining.

Well done Connacht, very enjoyable game to watch.

Griffin was outstanding and the subs (O'Loughlin, Muldoon and Fanning) made a huge impact.

Great result for Connacht in an entertaining game - nice change from the drudge last weekend.
Proud of ye lads.

I have an awful feeling that the blazers will come knocking on Connacht's door when they are called to account for the missing €1.5m from last weekends fiasco.
Hopefully this performance and Cronin showing his mettle at the weekend will keep the wolves from the door!

Missed the last 20mins but was well impressed with Connacht, except for some poor defence at times. The Connacht No14 caught my eye, thought he did very well going forward and didnt notice him do too much wrong in defence.

How come the ARs were allowed wear green tops, too close to the Connacht jersey.

Very enjoyable game to watch. Good result for Connacht, well deserved.

Was in work so missed this. Absolutely delighted for Connacht. Love to see them do well. Knew they could do it. Very, very hard to beat at home.

What has that got to do with the price of bread?

Do you follow any of the lads on Twitter? Good banter between them, it is quite entertaining.

Griffin had a great game. good to see some of the younger lads get some game time, that was pretty much our 2nd team aswell.

Gwan Connacht!!!!!!

Exiled2NY

Delighted for Connacht. That should give some of the younger and back-up players a confidence boost.

Does Griffen look like he'll be able to fill in for Niva Ta'auso while he is injured?

Any other players stand out?

profitius

Griffen looked a very good player for Irelands U20 team. Big and talented with plenty of potential.

peterako

Great all-round performance by Team and Management!

(OK. a bit of a hometown Ref.....but you play what's in front of you )

Delighted with the result!!

And at last an enjoyable match to watch!

Great game and super win by Connacht, imagine if these guys had decent support (numbers wise) and a budget!
