Someone send this to French and English rugby unions, with a simple note.

Connacht finished joint second last in the pool stages last season behind most of those teams you mentioned (Sale weren't in it last year). Passion is great, enthusiasm is even better, but skill and quality are more important.

Sorry to be Mr BuzzKillington but it's true.

That's a fair statement, I was a little effected by the video. I do have a response, but its not a debate for this thread (my bad for almost starting it)

looking forward to the documentary!

freyners

ill give this wee bump since its tonight

Quint2010

Looks good except why do they have to bleep out the language? It's on at 9.30 PM not AM! Hopefully that was only for the preview.

Teferi

I'd imagine that was for the ads.

yet again, my abroad-ness hurts.

I think we might be able to catch this on the tg4 player though. Hopefully they won't geoblock it!

There was a preview of it on Matt Cooper yesterday that wasn't censored - this was at about 6-ish. So I can't imagine we'll have any issues there.

Looking forward to this

Ronan Loughney - future TG4 pundit!

decisions

Brilliant so far.

Clareman

Excellent so far, really shows what it means to the players.

GerM

Can see why Elwood is leaving due to stress and wanting a break. He cares too much. He seems to take a defeat like a punch in the stomach.

Clareman

The man is in bits and that was a year ago, great line "lads ye'll have a chance to hit fellas from Toulesse on Friday night leave your team mates alone"

and my cameo is over.

The anonymous nature of the rugby forum is forever changed! Good bit!

garbanzo

Fair play to Guy Noves.....great grasp pf the gaeilge,

Loving it. Great show and look like a great bunch of lads. Meas mór

Clareman

I always thought that people that carry their clubs at golf are mad, Eric isn't making me change my mind

ssaye

Excellent, such passion.

tiger_cub

Jesus christ the first part's only over and i'm already getting emotional. coming from a die hard munster family i actually cannot put into words the passion and pride I have for this team!

got some free tickets for a magners glasgow game about six years ago and have never looked back.

what the hell is it about connacht?so proud. GWAN THE LADS.

decisions

Anyone else getting emotional?

Clareman

Great show so far, getting the impression that it took them 3 games to realise that they were as good as the other teams and that they were really badly affected by the losing streak that they went through.

Yeah, you'd want to have a heart of reckon stone not to feel it during that clip after the Gloucester game.

Really enjoying this so far. Great insight. And the missus is developing an entirely new respect for Loughney.....didn't see that one coming.

Jaysus Eric you've put on a sight of weight, at least the hair dye took though

So I just bought a Connacht jersey.

kensutz

That was quite simply superb. Any rugby fan would get goosebumps watching that. I always had a soft spot for Connacht but this was just unbelievable. Even getting emotional watching that game against Harlequins after sitting in the rain taking photos at it taking ages to dry out. Was worth it.

thomond2006

That was a fantastic documentary, reminded me of the Lions DVDs where you get a real insight into the dressing room atmosphere.

freyners

best sports doc ive seen in a long time

duckysauce

Raw passion loved it

decisions

They should release it on DVD.

RoundBox11

Every time i hear Swifty talk i'm amazed at how well spoken he is.

He looks like a scary guy but he's actually such a gent!!

statesaver

Great documentary. TG4 really do put RTE to shame.

Have only ever been to one of their games, i've a feeling i will be returning.

What effort, what passion amazing

porterbelly

Brilliant

Kerrydude1981
