    Actually, a large part of Athlone is in Connacht. But don't let your ignorance of geography stop you from making a silly point. Carry on. ;)

    Bucaneers RFC isn't. It's in Leinster. So is Marist.

    The vast majority of Athlone is in Westmeath.

    Connacht fans just aren't up to it to create build-up threads (yeah I know your reply, there are not enough of them to react fast enough).

    It always ends up with Leinster vs "Connaugh", "bandwagon" etc.
    When it's all about Connacht vs "smoggy area", "the Pale", "Good old ladyboys" "jackeens". So many way to be as offensive as they (humoristically and scornfully) are

    That's my whole point. We don't mind helping you out to pad your academy numbers. But when a homegrown Leinster boy wants to come back, who can blame him?

    Nonsense. Leinster had to resort to KGB tactics and use a honeytrap to lure him to Dublin. Robbie's a pure country lad, sure he even plays trad on the squeeze box. What would he want with the bright lights and fast cars up there in Dublin? He's lucky he doesn't get killed crossing the road!

    So you're saying Putin has Kompromat on Robbie Henshaw?

    I f**king knew it.

    Yep Joe prefers falling off tackles to just not being in position to make them, looks much better in the video sessions :)

    Interestingly in the Sportsground earlier this season Connacht were scoring a point a minute until 3 minutes.

    It's the number of minutes and seconds Tiernan has played for Ireland since 2016. 19 minutes and 6 seconds.

    Given the Munster and Ulster teams feature none of the Irish starters, with just Best on the bench, might we see a similar approach from Leinster? In which case we might get away with just a 10 point defeat... ;)

    Possibly. I'd expect we'll see it from Connacht too so they'll be at full strength.

    To be fair to TOH, he does get into position sometimes too.

    Even Niyi made a better attempt, the more you see it, the more Adam Byrne looks tailor made for Connacht.
