Front Five - 04.09.16

Start your day with five eye-catching egg-chasing quotes & links from around the ruggersphere.

Quite the eye-opening display & result
from Glasgow - guess who plays them next?


"Best of luck for the season ahead and thank you for a wonderful 14 months back at the club and until we meet again, cheers."


Marcus Ó Buachalla - Leinster Rugby

**********

Of all the intros to Connacht's opening argument in the defence of their Guinness Pro 12 title, the last we expected to be making was that they had just suffered their heaviest home defeat in 14 years.


Brendan Fanning - Irish Independent

**********

Scarlets’ fans resorted to the alternative Welsh national anthem (BOOOOOOO CHEAT CHEAT CHEAT BOOOOO) a little quickly. I prefer “Land of my Fathers” to be honest


Three Red Kings

**********

(Nick) Williams was starting to make up for his shaky start with the sort of powerful runs from No.8 which had made him such a popular figure in Belfast last season.


Tim Lewis - The Scotsman

**********

They're humans, and they're as human as anyone else and they are capable of pushing the boundaries a step too far like any other player


John Balfe - Balls.ie
