Twitter Reacts To The Glorious Connacht Win In The Pro12 Final

We may not be in the big European finals, but two Irish teams did take part in the today's game in Scotland, and it set Twitter buzzing.

The whole thing was a great advertisement for Irish rugby and, although not all sides of the country will be happy tonight, these tweets shows that it was a special day for many...

Every so often the human spirit peaks thru the cynicism of money, power, control. It's a call of the heart. Connaught remind us.
