    This is compelling viewing. Connacht are a little naive at times, but the enterprise is great. Hopefully they can hold on and hopefully TOH is not badly injured.

    They always screw up at the best line out positions.

    Connacht have botched two or three attacking lineouts in the Toulouse 22.

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

    What a win!

    Glorious scenes.

    Kept Toulouse scoreless for the second half.

    The scary thing is how many mistakes Connacht made and how much more they can improve.

    Fantastic 5 points to get.

    Games vs Wasps are now key.

    Dunno, but there should have been a penalty against them for being offside

    That was a master-class in how to win without a functioning set-piece, well done Connacht.

    I think I'll spew if I hear more talk about Toulouse being rugby royalty etc. Rugby is about the here and now, and there is way to much hanging onto past exploits by fans IMO.

    Connach bring a smile to my face when they play, but by God they must put their fans through the ringer ....

    Fantastic win, and more should be expected off this team.

    Phew! The last few minutes were not easy to watch. Great win especially when you consider how poor the scrum was today.

    Aki superb, whenever Connacht have a big win he tends to be MOTM. He inspires them. Thought SOB was good when he came on. TOH and Kelleher looked danergeous too

    I didn't see the first half, so all I saw was Connacht dominate, but Ronaldson was immense. His tackling, offloading and his conversion was brilliant.

    Was he at fault for any of the Toulouse tries or anything?

    Great win Connacht.
    Fair play.

    Bundi deserved man of the match.
    Kelleher looks a serious prospect.
    Heenan is v good too.

    I'll ask them at the next big meet up.

    Ronaldson was excellent today. Really handy player to have inside Carty.

    Connacht are a breath of fresh air. Just exhilarating to watch. Great brand of rugby, and great strength of character. Delighted.

    It was all tongue in cheek in fairness. Just like it was all tongue in cheek I'm sure from the fans. But it's certainly in the Rodney Parade territory these days.

    Sweet Jesus theyll be the death of me. Ive the sleaves chewed of me jumper after the last 10 minutes. Massive win tonight and a great boost to make the knockout stages. We need to sort out the number 10 though, Jack Carty is not up to scratch.

    Epic, if Connacht Rugby last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour." :D

    Carty as per usual mixed the good with the bad. He had some really good moments kicking from hand and ball in hand, but Ronaldson should 100% have been taking the kicks from the tee from the start. If he was there wouldn't be a huge amount to criticise about Jack's performance.

    The commentator mentioned that Carty's kicking stats are below 50% for the season at some stage there...
