Connacht Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread - Part II

Wow Mick Kearney doing a great Iain Henderson impression!

Aly and Kearney having great games

Inspector Coptoor

What a pity Cooney knocked on.

Great break from Kearney

Keep making key mistakes in redzone but this is some of the best stuff we've played all season. Cardiff line speed and intensity in tackle needs to be a lot better. Mils needs to look outside him and stop taking so much contact.

Going well so far, but god almighty take Muliaina off ASAP. He could cost us this game if we leave him on much longer. Leader is a better option anyway

thomond2006

Jesus Connacht stop messing up chances.

Jesus that Blues scrum is pathetic

Bodes well. Connacht have a serious platform to work off, they just have to cut out the errors.

Mils blowing an overlap!! Would he ever look wide!!

thomond2006

Another knock on. Good lord.

Connacht are basically Scotland! They are creating so many opportunities but making a meal of it in Cardiff's 22. With the scrum dominance though they simply have to win this.

freyners

Get the lads some grip spray

bm_1212

Scrum again surely!

wp_rathead

Ugh
Should be more than 7 ahead
Cardiff won't play that poor again second half surely

eltonio

That is a ****ing criminal waste of chances!

galwaylad14

Why didn't we take a scrum off that last free kick? Would defintley have fancied us for a pushover try. Playing well but I hope all those fruitless visits we've had to their 22 don't end up costing us

Zzippy

Serious amount of knock ons from both teams so far, is it wet in Cardiff?

eltonio

Naopu should be shot for tapping that pen just before half time

typhoony

5 minutes before muldoon was telling them to calm down and then George goes for a quick tap instead of the scrum, madness

We seem to be knocking on a few balls from hitting the ground, I can only imagine hitting that surface is harder than grass and impact affecting handling

Cosmo Kramer

3-10 but still so frustrating. Scrum there at the end and the minimum outcome would have been another three points from a penalty, maybe could have drawn a yellow card or forced a penalty try. Tap and go was stupid. Heenan immense though, front row well in control. Really need to take at least four points here, any less from this position of dominance will be a shocking waste.

Anything to be said for putting in a 4G pitch at the Sportsground - it seems to suit our style of play?

EDIT: Was a free kick, not a pen.

Zzippy

It was a free kick so I don't think taking another scrum was an option

Militia could cost us this gAme

Ronaldson looks so uncomfortable passing the ball, particularly off his left.

is it mandatory to have that hipster beard to play in the Connacht pack - its working a treat anyway , pack is great , with good half back play - best I've seen from a Connacht 10 since Elwood

Hagz

The world always seems to be against Alex Cuthbert. He always has the most grief filled face.

freyners

Well done mils
