They could end up niled here. Carty has been an unmitigated disaster. Doesn't seem to want the ball at all. Has been just shipping it on all game, in a hurry and poorly.

To reference a previous post by ouncer, it's a shame that Muliana's money couldn't have been offered to JJ Hanrahan sooner.

Matt Healy gone off and Ian Porter on. We don't look well set for next week in any shape or form.

RobbieRuns · 03-04-2015 9:14pm

Carty is just not good enough! Just is nowhere near.

Also the penalty that we went for touch on 48 minutes ..... Take the 3 plenty of time for scores.

Robbie is the only back that shows class. End of.

vienne86 · 03-04-2015 9:14pm

Well done Henshaw. Amazing Connacht are back in this.

eyeball kid · 03-04-2015 9:14pm

About time. Hopefully they convert.

its_phil · 03-04-2015 9:14pm

Eh? What the hell.

Never give a sucker an even break and we're the sucker

Borders no.2 · 03-04-2015 9:14pm

As I was saying earlier Gloucester's defensive maul is very poor. Need to get the restart right and put the pressure on Gloucester.

Losty Dublin · 03-04-2015 9:15pm

Try!!!!!!! Worked off a maul and Gloucester collapse it; ref goes under the posts and it's 14-7.

Borders no.2 · 03-04-2015 9:16pm

Trying to self-destruct from the restart again. Need to be smart. Still more than 10 minutes left. Keep in the game.

Borders no.2 · 03-04-2015 9:22pm

That's probably that. Turnover for Gloucester. I'll be shocked if Exeter don't go there and win in the semi. Gloucester are nothing special.

vienne86 · 03-04-2015 9:26pm

Gloucester should have been in for another try there. Lucky for Connacht. Gloucester don't look too special to me and I'd be shocked if they win this trophy.

Borders no.2 · 03-04-2015 9:26pm

One more chance!

its_phil · 03-04-2015 9:27pm

Hibbard clearly didn't roll!!!

Glaws are ordinary.

The Connacht fans are brilliant tho ! Fair play to them all.

Borders no.2 · 03-04-2015 9:28pm

Even if we get a penalty from this scrum, we are unlikely to have time to kick to the corner.

vienne86 · 03-04-2015 9:31pm

Well that was turgid stuff. The weekend of rugby can only get better.

ThisRegard · 03-04-2015 9:32pm

Hard luck Connacht, you knew there'd be a handling error in there at the end though.

its_phil · 03-04-2015 9:32pm

Silly from Robbie there, didn't carry smartly in.

We were ****e but those last 20 minutes will be a massive boost to Ulster game next week.

Dire game but entertaining. Whatever about Henshaw and Masterson being good, the Clan fans were outstanding. Could be heard in the Shed.

gally74 · 03-04-2015 9:32pm

V good 2 good 2 nd half.

Impressed by the usuallys but masterson was v good, this Connolly lad looked good too

Utopia Parkway · 03-04-2015 9:32pm

Bugger. Great effort in the 2nd half. Just a pity about the 1st.

Zzippy · 03-04-2015 9:32pm

Much better second half but just not clinical enough when we get into scoring positions. Story of the season

Don't need to be special to win this trophy, Exeter are the only good side in it and Gloucester will get them at home so they'll be favoured, they've both played much better than the other teams that are left.

vienne86 · 03-04-2015 9:34pm

Definitely much better from Connacht in the second half - pity they didn't do that in the first half - those Gloucester were too easy but they couldn't score in the second half. Gloucester don't look like champions to me.

WallyGUFC · 03-04-2015 9:36pm

Carty woeful. Again.

Borders no.2 · 03-04-2015 9:36pm

Really frustrated. 2nd half shows that Gloucester are a relatively average side. Our only avenue to a try was through the maul though but so many basic mistakes. Pat Lam has a few questions to answer for me. Why was Carty left on for 80 minutes and why didn't George Naoupu start?

I would probably have taken a 7 point defeat at half time but the 2nd half showed what might have been with the right team available. We need Bundee and Ronaldson back in for next week and we might be able to do something.

Zzippy · 03-04-2015 9:38pm

I don't want to see Carty in that team again this season, if ever. Such a poor performance to go with many others so far. Early signs of promise have disappeared, he clearly has no confidence and his execution of basic skills is just poor.

Clegg · 03-04-2015 9:38pm

Connacht need a 10. They also need Aki back something desperate. Henshaw is trying to do it all on his own in his absence.

If the Mils Muliaina money can be re-invested then you'll get a very good one.

That money might be going to Robbie, just a hunch.

Too many mistakes in the game, thought we might have snuck another try, good atmosphere in the ground.
