Connacht player of the year award

Everyone on the list would have deserved winners, but this man stood out. Consistently brillant all season and a great person too.

Oisin Dowling to retire at the end of the season! Laoch 🦅

Dowling will retire due to injury. Sad to see a career cut short.

The very best of luck to him in his next chapter!

Last time we played Glasgow in knockout

Forgot how stacked that Glasgow team was before I watched this back. Russel, Nakawara, Hogg etc

What a season

Big stu showing why he’s one of the best. After that dragons game I could never had thought we would been here, monumental.

Won 7 out of the last 8 games or something.
Pushed Leinster at Home til the end

The 2nd team to pick up a win in South Africa outside of South African teams this season (the other being Ulster)

Play Off bound to a Glasgow team that has been hurting and having to play an inform team like us

Crazy to think we were 5 points away from a home quarter final.

There were games where we could have picked up the points as well. A missed Conversion against bulls and a better performance against Ulster at home and we would have had it.

Only up with the new loads coming in.

Huge youngster breakouts
Treacy - we have such good depth on wing (was on the scene last yr but an even better year this year)
West - unbelievable just no words
Bohan - A future Irish player for sure
Naughton - easily becoming a contender for 10 next year
Gavin - Plagued by injuries but good promise.
Daniel Ryan - can’t wait to see more from him
Yarr - good to see this depth coming through
Walsh - another good centre coming up

Breakouts
Jansen, Illo, DTM, Moose(after he becomes IQ) Devine(pity he’s gone), Bolton, Boyle, murphy(recovering his form) surely an Irish cap this summer
Prendergast, Murray, Bundee should all receive consistent call ups now.

A lot to be positive of this season

Bring it on Glasgow

Plane Tickets for Sale

I hope this is OK to post here. Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it to Bilbao for the Champions Cup final as I’ve been quite ill, so I’m looking to sell my flights to another supporter who might otherwise miss out on the trip.

Flights can be sold together or separately:

✈️ Dublin → Bilbao — Tuesday 19 May

✈️ Bilbao → Dublin — Wednesday 27 May

Looking for €400 plus the airline name change fee.

Would genuinely love if these helped another fan make the trip and enjoy what should be a special occasion. Comment if interested.

What next?

As it stands we play Leinster, but if they beat Ospreys it’s Stormers. What other permutations are there?

We went to the pub with Mack Hansen. Can confirm he lives up to his reputation 🍺

We knew we were in danger when we asked Mack where he'd like to film at 10am and he replied his local pub...

...14 hours later he was still leading the charge in Galway.

Honestly still don't think we've recovered from this recording but if you'd like to watch the full episode you can check it out here.

Right. I'm going back to bed.

Séan Jansen

I'd be quite surprised if he isn't in the Nations Cup squad for Ireland.

It's always said that if you want to break into the squad and you're not playing for Leinster that you need to standout in the Interpros.

He's seriously shown up in every interpro apart from Munster (A) this season where he's been the best player in the games against Leinster and Munster at home and also Ulster away.
