Kanrith

Why did Parks kick it there?

Ugo Monye spacecraft experience

that was an absolutely hideous kick from Parks

.ak

Even if the kick was on the money it was a waste.

Connacht back three with a few errors already. Not a great start.

eireannBEAR

Could have the satisfaction of sticking it to Nigel Wray though Still an arguably good position to be in!

Davei141

That try was too easy.

Kanrith

Poor tackles there

vienne86

Nice try there. Why on earth did they need the video ref for that? Not converted. 5-3.

Good play from Hodgson and finish from Ashton.

TheJackAttack

Duffy is useless

Swiwi.

The apparently amazing Hodgson just about throws an intercept. Did these Sky commentators never see Hodgson play international rugby? C'mon Connacht!

Good player in his day but has really looked past it this season unfortunately.

Mark Patterson is a c0ck.

Kanrith

What a kick from Parks.

eireannBEAR

Love the proud irish commentator!!!

DDC1990

Why do I hate Saracens so much?

I shouldn't care, but I really do :P

vienne86

Lovely three points from Parks.

Doesn't matter got the three

I presume you mean Mark Robson, oh well at least he got dig in against the English newspaper that described Connacht as a park team.

Ball split!

Saracens gain line carries are immense. Connaught need more aggressive tackles and challenge the breakdown

Davei141

Stupid penalty conceded from 3 what are you doing! Connacht playing well though.

DDC1990

Vunipola is just walking through every time.

EDIT: Both of them :P

connemara man

The vanipola brothers are immense

A lot of players are. Poor defending; slow to rearrange, sloppy tackling.

His homo-erotic musings about the front row are just naff commentary. Concentrate on the rugby please!

corny

Saracens really do have an excellent kicking game.

shuffol

I dont mind Robson tbh, he's enthusiastic and one of the more knowledgable commentators out there, agree he can be a bit irritating though.

That was the one and only Stephen Jones unsurprisingly.

LeeroyJones

Ha, why did Taylor pass!?

EDIT: Taylor passed over the line, not Brits

Utopia Parkway

Too easy. Missing tackles.

connemara man

Terrible tackling!!!!!!

19543261

-_-.... Not sure I want to watch this now.

Davei141

Pathetic tackling. Try Saracens.

thomond2006

Andrew Browne lets Hodgson through

bilston

That was pretty unselfish of Taylor!

shuffol

Second last pass looked forward.

matthew8

David Strettle scores so many tries. If only he could do anything else.

.ak

Connacht killing themselves. Frustrating to watch.
