When it comes down to it, we lost some top quality players at the end of last season

true Richard but lienster bought their best players. Dublin like funding their own but won't give connacht the money to match and keep their own players

What are you talking about?! Connaucht won the trophy last year

The IRFU need to get it together and start to cultivate a proper rugby culture for the whole island Ireland.

Well done Munster see you in two weeks

FT here and the home side come away with a convincing victory over their interpro rivals. Munster managed to get over the try-line 7 times today and seemed to perform out of their skin. They'll take this good form into the knockout phase of the competition in a couple of weeks. Connacht still are in with a shout of making it into next year's Champions Cup having finished in 8th place and making it into the qualifier stage of the competition.

*2017

The 2027 Connacht massacre.

agreed Paul. think the irfu need to also help connacht to hold onto players instead of leaving leister poach them

oh dear, if ever a team has lost faith in their coach it's Connacht.
I don't know if you can blame them either. all teams lose interest when a change at the top is likely. The Connacht players have known this for months - why should we play for this guy - they're just going through the motions, not trying and they've become so predictable.
this season can't end soon enough. 😕
