Connacht rugby fan. Married to a Welsh Dragons fan.

Well, if you'd had last week's ref at the Dragons game, it wouldn't even have been a penalty.

There is no consistency at all.

Enjoyed this - thanks.
Not able to catch all the games this week though I was at Rodney Parade to see a very unconvincing and ill-disciplined Leinster.
Pleased to see Connacht come good.

Leslie, do you do anything special for St Andrew's Day?

I've now got a Scottish daughter-in-law so want to be prepared in future. Have mastered Welsh cakes for my other half on St David's Day. - Any simple suggestions?

He's just been red carded!

He certainly should have been.

He's playing very well tonight.

Am concerned that Angus is catching all the high balls. He might get called up for tomorrow!😱

Unlikely I know

I reckon if we're 28 0 up with 10 to go and 15 on the pitch we might just manage Snyman 😉

You've just jinxed them

Married to one for my sins. But I'm a Connacht girl at heart, but its a long way to go from the south of England 🤣🤣.

I quite like lost causes.....
October 11, 2025 at 6:58 PM
Just a mere 49 point loss.....probably doesn't even make the top ten of Dragons losses, though Glasgow are our bete noir.

Your wish is our command, as my dad used to say. 😅

Fantastic game!
