Huge match today for Connacht. I wonder, is it on any channel in the UK? I may try BBC Wales. This game could define Connacht's season.

Trying to get a stream as well

RTE live only show it within Ireland

It's on BBC Wales alright, they advertised it at the end of the Dragons game last week.

Would love Griffini to have a big game versus Davies even it is just defensively. 21 tackles last week was very impressive

Hon Connacht, lets do it

Shocking coverage by RTE. Did they mention this game at all in the preview?

Fecking hell that was stupid

Someone as experienced as Muldoon should know never turn your back on the ball

Good response

Awful by Patterson. Kearney was the first tackler

freyners

Was McKeon an assistant tackler there?

connemara man

Its more tackled player hadn't hit the ground so he looks like he's helping the tackler

connemara man

Unlucky there

freyners

TOH very close there

Diabhal Beag

I just feel like if we had Mrs. Parks in for Carr we'd have some great chances to break on the left. Not too bad now after a horrible start.

im struggling to understand how the ref is interpreting assisting tacklers atm. If Mckeons was a penalty then that must surely be one also vs 3

I agree the last few penalties were copies of mckeowns

connemara man

Lucky as fluck there

Poor scrum. Have to be better in the next one

Funk It

Its dangerous when Connacht think that their scrum is more dominant than it is. In the previous, we did have a bit of a nudge on, but when Rodney popped up I thought we should picked it. In the next, Rodney got mullered, just lucky that they hit the post with the pen.

Jordan williams is playing a stormer. If Robbie had arrived 1 second earlier for the tackle and he would have ended put him in the stand

irishbucsfan

The two Williams in the Scarlets back 3 are enjoying themselves today

freyners

Marmion not happy with what happened at that ruck. Scarlets arm on the ball i think

connemara man

The breakdown seems like a lottery On the assistant tackler and the release

S12b

It has to be said, Jordan Williams footwork is a joy to watch!!

freyners

Clear obstruction on fionn there

its_phil

Both teams look great attacking but defensivly...

freyners

Ref is beginning to annoy me, absolutely no consistency

irishbucsfan

Any good play from Connacht is being closely followed by really poor play. Particularly from the loose forwards and Marmion. It's the difference at the moment.

freyners

Considering the start we made im happy with the score at the break, badly need to tighten things up at ruck time
