Connacht Rugby Bandwagon Thread

Fantastic rugby player, pity he could never kick off the deck consistently at all bar the odd year. Was a massive star for a spell and would’ve been a brilliant player in France.

One of the more unfortunate what-ifs would be whether Connacht would have won the Pro12 in 2016 if Carty didn’t hurt himself on a waterslide? My answer is a strong no considering how important AJ MacGinty was for us in that run-in. Not to say Carty was a bad player but he just had too many hiccups in his back pocket to be a proper Test outhalf.

He could probably do everything Sexton could just not all the time! He great pace, physicality and hands in his prime. Reminds me a bit of Jack Crowley.

All aboard

That is one of the worst attacking displays of rugby I’ve ever seen there-from the Sharks, totally bereft

The garryowens that worked on the first half haven’t and there was no plan b it seems

That sums it all up

Those dopes want to get rid of Hurley Langton who is genuinely a test-level 7. Mental stuff.

western province battle completed

A sensational result today in South Africa missing arguably 6 starters against multiple World Cup winners. If they got even a losing bonus point at altitude next week they should be aiming for 7th.

Lancaster is the man

Signing in for arguably one of the top 5 most important Connacht matches in our history. Pro12 Final win, Stormers semi-final, Toulon semi-final, Glasgow semi-final are the only ones I can think of with this much significance.

Glasgow helping us so far in the Protestant derby but a long 40 minutes of rubby ahead yet.

TBP for Connacht. Need to hold out here because I feel like the floodgates might open if Edinburgh score a try.

Class Ulster try.

Prod derby now gone against us

Glasgow in the corner

Fantastic season. Playoffs regardless but need a favour tomorrow from the Lions to either hammer or get hammered.

Hard to see Stuey Tuesdays avoiding huge offers if he keeps this form up in 2026/27.

I can only ever see him getting jobs like Connacht at this stage. He’d have an English job by now if they really wanted him.

I’ll have my fucking life on Montpellier at 2/5
