A very weak ospreys side (most of their players not released by Gatland), anyone fancy Connacht for a big upset?

Holah on the bench?

Would love Connacht to beat Hairsprays.;)

Sonny Parker is to be watched. The man is dangerous !

[Jackass]

Ospreys 2nd string is still fairly decent. Can't see the Ospreys losing this one. If Connacht can get stuck in early and keep the game tight on the scoreboard for the first 20 I think it'll be a close run game.

If Connacht play like they did in the RDS they have a chance.

5 done already gonna be a long day im afraid =/

Fup sake Connacht getting some really good chances and just the usual forced pass is wrecking it all.

Crash

`Spreys in for a second - 15-3. Connacht defensive line just couldn't spread fast enough.

Jilm

Connacht are on the wrong end of some poor refereeing decisions.

Ospreys score a try. 15-3 flatters them.

Anyone else think Spratt looks like he was born in a wind tunnel?

Not good for connacht but good for handicap backers! Connacht could have won that game, both teams were terrible and but for a lapse in the first few minutes and taking a chance connacht would have got at least a bp.

wat a joke of a match.
bradley fault in my opinion, cant get them motivated for anything.

they clearly had no game plan, wat was with the 50-50 off load in the red zone. we should of kept going thru the phases cause the wud eventuly give away a pen. but no the connacht way to do it is get in the 22 with good woek and try a stupid pass of give away a stupid pen. we won out games this season by keepin ball in hand and keatly wud kick them over. but for some reason connacht seemed to want a bonus point win from the start.

That was a painful game to watch. Based on the amount of the ball we had and the sloppiness of our defence for the tries we could have won that game easily by just playing to an acceptable standard. Perhaps at this stage the players have just got used to rolling over away from home...
