In case you missed the amazing news, Connacht produced an absolutely huge Heineken Cup display to upset the odds against a star-studded Toulouse team.
The lowest try scorers in the Rabo faced the highest try scorers in the Heineken Cup and a side that had only lost once at home in Europe in the last four years. However, perhaps buoyed by the outstanding performances of the other three Irish provinces at the weekend, they showed little fear and brilliantly won a two-point game at the Stade Ernest Wallon.
Pat Lam’s men were not to be denied and even managed a turnover towards the end of match in what was a great display of composure to close the game out. Relive the unbelievable tension of those final minutes with Michael Corcoran and Bernard Jackman’s RTÉ radio commentary, as the men from the west recorded one of the biggest upsets in the competition’s history.
What a weekend for Irish teams in Europe’s premier competition.
