Probably the worst ground to watch a match.

People are fantastic and I love a Galway Hooker.

It is a fine example of a boat, decent beer also

One of the best away towns to visit, the ground is old skool.

I think it was the Quays that we ended up in both nights at the end of September. Heaving it was. Monroe's Tavern is more my scene.

Rob Lyttle going to get an appearance with the back 3 injuries?...looked a classy player last season, if physically not quite ready, to handle games week in week out.

Na sure we've Bowe and Trimble. Maybe Bryn fancies a game at fullback.

Feck - we had our most potent looking back 3 of the season so far on Friday night and then they all get injured in the same game

I very much doubt that FOLK is targeting this game, I'd say the wider squad, maybe even Cave will play. If we win we win, if not FOLK it.

We should play a strong side to the extent possible this week and then for Munster a week later, before sending the kids plus C Ross amd Cave down to the RDS for a tanking.

It will give the first team a couple of weeks off before La Rochelle.

Probably a camp Joe in there somewhere as well

Agreed (unless we're targetting the B and I).

2MP for captain in Dublin.

Irish whiskey museum for starters.

This is Connacht's only home derby over the 3 game window, so will no doubt be targeting this one. Ulster's main focus will probably be the on Jan 1st. Think they will make changes and hope they can get a win. As already mentioned, the game in the RDS on Jan 6 is a write off.

Reading the Munster and Leinster forums, it seems the will be sending a weakened side down to Limerick on the 26th, a game Munster will be targeting. Means the will send the 2nd XV up to Belfast, this means nothing as their reserves have won at Ravenhill in the past.

D4's focus is on the game on Jan 6 as in theory Ulster are competing with them for 2nd in Conference B. In reality Ulster are trying to stay ahead of Edinburgh.....

FOLK may not target Connacht.

[jean valjean]

No point discussing the Leinster game, in which case a fairly strong team should go to Galway minus those carrying niggles and as close to full strength against the turnips. 2 weeks then to super dooper cup.

I'd agree with that. Knowing FOLK he will target Leinster, not target Connacht and play the ravens against Munster. As long as we have a good December though.
