    I'm not particularly worried about losing the game but am very worried about not getting the BP.
    Missing that would make qualification quiet difficult.

    I'm not saying we're not favourite, I'm saying it's a real embush, not only "showing respect" phrasing

    But the more I look to the team the more I think Lam balanced it well : We struggled because we were so light against Toulouse, Italians have the same target/strategy, so he "muscled" his selection with Roux, SOB Robb, Delahunt J.P Cooney and McCoy. Without forgeting to ponderate with "electric finishers" in the back-three. Smart move Pat!

    Zebre can't match Connacht if Connacht play well. Glasgow and Scarlets didn't play well which gave Zebre a chance.

    Nobody can match Connacht if we play well, we proved it last season (Sarries Wasps and Clermont maybe excepted). Playing average like we did until Toulouse 2nd half this season is a strong possibility though. And Zebre is able to win or prevent us getting the BP in this case

    I know, thats what I'm saying. If Connacht dont perform than of course Zebre can win, so lets hope Connacht do!!!

    What I meant was even a mixed performance like we did against Embra or Ulster may be dangerous.
    But team is interesting and Bundee will come in to wrap up the BP!

    If he comes on with 20-25 to go and Connacht have a commanding lead, the Italians won't have the same intensity as they would have in the first half which will lead to the Aki 47 causing havoc.

    Anyone know if there's a way to watch the bt sport extra channels on www.setantago.com?

    I can see they're all available on live.eirsport.ie, I'm a sky customer with the setanta/eir sports pack so I've no eir account number to set up a myeir account :(

    BT Sport 1, 2, 3 and ESPN, eir sport 1 and 2 are all available.

    I'm not at home but I believe the "extra" channels are available on red button. I don't see them available for streaming on setantago though

    On Sky if you hit the red button on BT2 it gets you options and the Connacht game is just on a "coming up" screen.

    Huge error from Zebre on their line. Connacht scrum a few meters out.....could be a mighty start.

    Bealham on the TH?????

    If fans and pundits can make the right calls within 5 seconds, it's unacceptable that TMO's take 1-2 minutes to reach the wrong one. It's one of the most puzzling aspects of professional rugby.

    Personally thought that should have been a try. Think the slow Mo didnt help though should have just looked at it in real time aswell. But hopefully can keep the intensity up!

    This is hilarious without the crowd noises. It's like watching with director's commentary on a DVD.
