Connacht Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread.

Zzippy · 2010-04-23 13:52:21

Right Toomevara, here it is! ;) Seeing as Munster and Leinster have their own threads, let's get a Connacht one in ahead of Ulster (just like in the Magners league hopefully! :D ) All talk Connacht-related in this thread, whether its transfer news, slagging off Bradley, slagging off the Branch, talking about players you…

First time I've ever seen a 7-table-point match!

Where both teams score 4 tries and one gets a losing bonus point.

Super match. Unlucky for Connacht.

Once again a dodgy refereeing decision costs us! We really haven't had the breaks this season.

No, it isn't. He's not obstructing anyone if he's playing the ball

The question is whether he clearly released. I wouldn't say he did. But his position is not indicative of a penalty.

Apologies so, I though when you get back on your feet you had to be onside to compete, or does a ruck have to be called first?

Either way, not supporting his weight and didnt release either

A lot of Munster, Leinster and Ulster supporters are suddenly going to see what all the fuss about Henshaw has been about......absolutely outstanding performance from him!! Dave McSharry said in an interview recently that Robbie seems to be getting bigger every week and it's showing in his play, he's so powerful in contact!!

So Connacht need just 5 points from four games to reach their highest ever total in the league.

Its not European qualification but its a worthy goal for the rest of the season.

Combine that with three HEC wins and it will have been a pretty good season for Connacht.

The tackler can't be offside.

Whether or not he released is more relevant. Didn't seem to when I was watching, but maybe from the refs perspective there was daylight.

Either way, Williams was brilliant today and that was a crucial penalty. Probably man of the match, not sure who the official recipient of that award was.

Apologies so, in that case i was wrong on that.

Looking back on it, in no way did he release

Always thought he has a lot of potential to be honest. Even Schmidt was name-dropping him as a possible candidate for the 13 jersey now that BOD has retired. He'll definitely get his due recognition over the next few seasons, I'm sure of it.

Still a horribly overrated player in my opinion. Don't get the big deal about Priestland...

Took nearly 4 years since we started the thread to get to 10,000. Connacht rugby has come a long way since then!
