Possession name of the game for Pat Lam

After a funeral in Greystones on Saturday morning, I was approached by a man who proudly introduced himself as a Connacht selector on the day the westerners beat Munster in Thomond Park in 1986.

Yes, I confirmed I was playing for Munster that day but I think he knew that anyway.

He recalled how after hugging the Connacht coach PJ Dwyer and punching the air in the stand at the final whistle, Dwyer told him to stop smiling so not to let Munster know how much that win meant to them.
