    What exactly was happening there with Toulouse players coming around at the ruck?

    Think it was something along these lines.

    I knew I had seen something like that before. Great rugby awareness, but Connacht stayed calm.

    Ach, I think I even posted that clip myself last year after arguing in a thread that it would be a legal move, but it didn't occur to me earlier there was no ruck contest at the end.

    Toulouse 7 got pinged and warned in the first half for contesting a ball after a tackle with no ruck formed, I thought.

    Connacht were very blasé themselves about protecting rucks for a lot of the match.

    have to say poolman or parata is not toh. he is a fulcrum to our backline.

    was thinking much the same. we won the pro12 but this win was even better. where does this dream stop?

    Despite being pro12 champions and a team in my opinion that shouldn't fear French opposition, I still felt that Sky were very much treating Connacht as the plucky underdogs.

    Gave a massive fist bump to the sky at the final whistle and the last 5 minutes I'd say I'd have failed every blood pressure test on the planet.

    Terrific win, hard fought and well won. Terrific rugby throughout. Wasps v Connacht is going to be some show.

    I think its fair to say Connacht's season is now properly up and running after a few poor early results most likely due to a disrupted preseason. Connacht on form are the best Irish province to watch (Leinster fan here). That first try from Dillane's stolen lineout in their own 22 was a thing of beauty.

    One sided affairs are rarely as entertaining to watch. Unless the All Blacks are playing.

    Leinster fans - Leinster. Connacht fans - Connacht. Neutrals - Connacht Toulouse as much closer affair. Who cares though?! Two provinces beat two T14 teams, good day.

    I know that there was nothing one sided about the Connacht vs. Toulouse game that took place this evening.
