Hi everybody!

As a Stade Toulousain supporter, I would like to thank your squad so much!

Your match yesterday was totally awesome, and you deserved your victory.

We're in quarter final because of you and we never forget about it!

Pints of beer are waiting for you in Toulouse! :woohoo:

That was a great nIght. We deserved the win they tackled like mad men.
Great for all the players Eric staff and the fans

We rode our luck but it's been a while since luck was our friend.
I thought McCarthy was unreal again. George and mul were also putting in some great hits.
Some ending for the Heineken cup and proves we are good enough to sit at the top table h cup

that was a great way to end our run in the HC cup. lads gave all they had and our defence was one of the best i seen. we dont seem to score much but we dont give other teams much scores either when the head is right.

seen a stat that we done 153 tackles and only missed 3. top stuff lads.

what a pity that we are not sure if we wil be in this next season but ARIONI WILL BE.
we got the hardest group and could of won 3 other matches.
i got everything crossed one of the irish teams wins it.
toulouse said that they owe us one since we kept them in the cup. well keep your word, give us few players or the coach, heard there number 8 is an ok player

Well done to the lads

Really shook up the Heineken last eight order. Connacht have significantly influenced the direction of the Heineken cup this year....

Agreed.

I suppose it's easy to lose sight of the 14-straight losses amidst all the euphoria of this historic win, but this will lose a bit of shimmer if we rattle off five or six more consecutive losses now...

Outstanding , absolutely outstanding absolutely performanc . Level of commitment was insane from 1 - 23. Great that we have shifted the monkey off our backs, doubly so that in doing so we've popped our HEC cherry too. Despite their problems under Dean, there's a lot to admire about Quins. They'll be disappointed for sure, but they've a young side and one that's banked a victory away to Toulouse in ;-)
the memory banks for next time. One more win and the beard comes off.... (has to be back to back though)

Well said Breifne!

What a night.
That alone makes the season ticket worthwile.

I have been standing at the bohermore end of the clan terrace all season - with the same heads around me everytime. We all had the same stupid smile at the end.

Brilliant craic - great night.

What a performance from the pack - including the subs. Everyone contributed.

Off for another pint.

Here's a video of the last 4 mins of play. Was a privilege to be there. The chants & renditions of The Fields Of Athenry were hair raising at times!

Congrats all, a great way to finish a depressing winter for Connacht Rugby.

Great performance and great win, the margins are so tight but things finally went our way tonight with Evans missing a penalty late on, Monye knocking on with a try at his mercy, being on the verge of conceding a couple of penalty tries and scrambling them clear.

Pack deserve huge credit, we were outgunned at scrum time after a couple of pens early on but we hung in there. It would have been an injustice if we lost with that performance. As usual we made life as difficult as possible for ourselves towards the end and its painfully obvious we need a couple of serious front row signings but Loughney, Flavin and Wilkinson were superb all the same.

Need to be bringing that type of attitude to the table more often, players were tired tonight but they were going to keep going for however long the game took, that attitude wasn't there in a lot of other games.

Tonight also gave an indication of what a venue the Sportsground could become, couldn't believe the noise on occasions coming towards the end after years of being used to almost deathly silence at some games.

This is a good night but we still have huge work to do but at least its a starting point. Good to see Ulster through as a result and ironically we have also probably given Edinburgh some breathing space for one of the 2 runners up spots.

Ever so proud. i nearly threw my ipad through the tv here in london after that last scrum!!!! felt ill.

This is a big one for our great team.

We might lack a lot of things, but we have guts and heart in spades.
