Good, Connacht should have been rewarded for their efforts last season.

agree there, everyone thought they'd be the whipping boys of the irish teams season should be interesting, coupled with the fact that the world cup players are back i think it'll be a totally different league |

Still feel sorry for connacht though. dont fully understand the bbc article, dunno if it's lack of coffe but it says: they CAN qualify if they did manage to finish as the highest-ranked Irish team in the Celtic League, as there is a play of bewteen HIGHEST PLACED NON-QUALIFIER and the third-ranked Italian side. Why do they have to come top of the irish sides?
