    And hopefully we can keep him here! Itโ€™s a pity Macca didnโ€™t want to try a year under Lam, himself and this lad couldโ€™ve been serious in the engine for us

    A brilliant signing ! This is the dream player that Connacht have been looking for. They donโ€™t come better than this guy ! Good on ya Craig , time to give these millionaire clubs ( Munster, Leinster and Ulster ) a run for their money .
