[QUOTE="SoRadical, post: 405686, member: 51527"] Thanks cmac. It's probable that Connacht are going to take a beating at some stage during the tournament, but people are forever refusing to give us any respect at all. Our preformances have improved dramatically over the past couple of years and were regularly putting in big games against teams like Leinster and Munster in the Magners League. Last season we finished with a negative points difference of 205. This season we've managed to cut that by 156 points to a negative 49. Connacht talismans like Gavin Duffy, John Muldoon and Johnny O'Connor have been playing consistently well for a few seasons now but have been largely ignored by Irish selectors. The devastating quartet of Carr, Cronin, Hagan and Keatley (Who I realize are all moving on to newer pastures) who have been instrumental to Connacht's revival has only amassed fourteen Irish caps between them. Brett Wilkinson who is far superior to the likes of Tom Court has also been ignored. We also have an excellent crop of players emerging from our academy at the moment and players like Eoin Griffin and Eoin McKeon have already showed what their capable of. Connacht can cause a major upset in next season's Heineken Cup. [/QUOTE]
