    For Sure. Some really lovely play from Connacht from the likes of Henshaw, Marmion and Healy, but worth watching for the defence alone.

    Wasn't a tryfest but definitely worth catching. Incredible defence and workrate, and only for a bad TMO call Connacht would have had another try

    Ah please lads. The TMO call was technically correct alright. The ball was knocked forward by a Connacht hand. It sucked because the try was a beaut, but can we stop moaning about it. It was the right call.

    Yeah worth a look. The defense at the end in particular. Bodies on the line doesn't cover it. Heroic stuff. And I don't say stuff like that often.

    The ball didn't go forward IMO, it went across if anything.

    I just don't get it. It was so conclusive that I can't understand how it's even under debate. If it was so inconclusive the commentators would have made note of it, but they both saw that it went forward.

    I was watching a French stream, and while my French is a bit rusty, I'm quite sure the commentator said Toulouse were very lucky there. Watched the highlights on TG4 and the commentator reckoned it was lateral. It was extremely marginal, but in any case people are only saying its a pity, that the result would have been in less doubt if the try had been given. You're the one making a big issue of it...

    Toulouse were extremely lucky there, even if it was 100% a knock on (only saw it once myself). Could have even be denied the LBP

    There was a marginal knock on I thought, would like to see it again but I didn't pick up on it until one of the last replays by the TMO.

    Again, what a performance, I felt comfortable that we could hold them out each time we booted the ball back down their side of the pitch. Great defensive performance, but they were brave all around the park.

    I'm only making a big issue of it because I've read A LOT of comments today about how it was a dreadful call. It just irks me when the video evidence was so conclusive.

    McSharry was about 2m inside his 22 when he got a hand on the ball, it went across and Parks picked it up 2 m inside the 22 - if it went forward it was so marginal you would need a ruler to measure it. Conclusive my arse!

    Well I doubt I'm going to change your mind so let's call it a day.
