Everyone's favourite rugby journalist Stephen Jones has had his say on Connacht's win over Toulouse.
Thanks to a policy of staying under the radar, your correspondent is the only person in the Balls office, and surely one of the few remaining Irish people, not to have been blocked by Stephen Jones on Twitter.
The man who had two Irish players on his Lions test team of 2009 (this being the year Ireland won the Grand Slam) was overcome with emotion over Connacht's win.
Asked for his thoughts on the "team of part-timers" beating the second placed team in the Top 14, he responded by saying
"Two rubbish teams and the French don't care about Hein any more. Any thoughts?
It's fair to say that he hasn't been moved by Connacht's performance in Toulouse, responding to one tweet lamenting his failure to praise Connacht by tweeting simply.
They are dreadful
He posited a further suggestion as to why Toulouse succumbed to the Westerners.
hard to motivate against a park team?
The man's ardour for the rugby produced by teams from this nation and his willingness to acknowledge their achievements is simply awe-inspiring.
