Connacht vs. Leinster, leg the first (Sportsground, Friday 8th April 8pm, BT Sport One)

So here we all are now. Leinster ready to **** themselves, as per Mack Hansen. Connacht fully embracing the plucky underdog mantle, and why wouldn't they.

Hopefully no red cards this time around. Unless they benefit Leinster, of course.

Weather forecast is for a bit of rain today over on the west coast, followed by clear skies around kick off time.

Sleet and hail showers, serious squally winds. Hope it settles for kickoff.

Leinster will feel like they turned all those hoppers by the end of the game.

Rather disgracefully, you can't get a pint of Guinness in the Sportsground (on the Clan Terrace side anyways)

Where did you get my wellies from, Dave?

Island's Edge?!

Proof positive that Connacht have lost their way under Friend

But buying Guinness in the main stand the money goes to the dogs not Connacht

Swill.

With that weather out there you'd be better firing a few whiskeys into you.

It isn’t prosecco he has in it, Venjur. ;)

SqueakyKneecap · 08-04-2022 07:06PM

Lot of nervy Leinster heads clicking their fingers asking for a "barkeep". A timid bunch.

08-04-2022 07:32PM

Well I wouldn't have thought so, don't think they prosecco in Galway yet!

Fudged · 08-04-2022 07:34PM

Tayto will be watching for non-locals. Anything to keep the heathen out!

Faugheen · 08-04-2022 07:54PM

Evening folks.

Looks like a cracking evening in Galway. Lets hope for a game of similar gorgeousness.

lawrencesummers · 08-04-2022 07:56PM

With the exception of 10 connacht have a better backline.

Unfortunatley because of the packs and the OH’s there will be only one winner.

This is a big day for Carrthy, personally i think hes way overrated and gets a pass on a lot of his mistakes for some reason, but to keep his side in the game today he is going to have to do something thats never been seen before, and have a perfect game.

As a neutral i just hope there isnt any red card
