[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 343088, member: 13611"] I hope Connacht continue throwing the ball around. They've scored 7 tries in 2 games so far this season having scored just 20 in 18 games last season. New head coach Eric Elwood and the new backs coach Brian Melrose seem to recognise that good things happen when you get the ball in Fionn Carr's hands. Ian Keatley has shown a new lease of life in this his 3rd season with Connacht. If he continues the form he's shown in weeks 1 and 2, he has a great shot at adding to his 2 cap haul come the November tests and subsequent 6 Nations. I really think there'll be a bidding war for his services next season with all 4 Irish provinces on the lookout for a good flyhalf. Keatley will be able to name his price. Another who can seriously boost his prospects with a good performance is Jamie Hagan. His scrummaging is coming on in leaps and bounds while he's now contributing a lot in the loose too. Hagan is Ireland's best long term bet at tighthead prop in my opinion. Facing Jon Welsh will be a challenge for him but I think he's up to it. The game isn't being shown on TV so your best bet for coverage could be Galway Bay FM or [URL="http://www.knockon.ie/"]knockon.ie[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
