WATCH: Unbelievable scenes as the Connacht open-top bus drives through a ram-packed Galway

Conan Doherty

Wow.

If you’ve been living under a rock or had no idea of the magnitude of what Connacht did on Saturday, it meant a hell of a lot.

It has woken up a province that has long since been kept silent and it has created a buzz all all over the rugby world.

It started in Galway though. And, after clinching a historic Pro 12 title in Edinburgh, Pat Lam and his troops brought the title back the Sportsground where thousands of well-wishers flooded the streets to welcome them home.

An open-top bus parade was organised for Sunday afternoon to see John Muldoon and co get the reception they deserved back in Connacht.

It was bedlam. Pure euphoric bedlam and the footage from Finlay Bealham on top of the team bus just showed the scale of what they had achieved.

Stunning scenes.
