    Anywhere to see the Henshaw tackle on Gopperth? Was on a flight during the match and the recording failed :/

    This was the one I was looking for

    Absolute suicide ball from Reddan. But the move was so easy to read - stacking out options on the blindside, we were never in a million years going to go openside with a massive risk of a turn over. Nice enough move, but needed to be way more snappy, Reddan needed to plant his feet and needed to be far more accurate with the pass. Good read by Henshaw all the same, and even better he nailed man on ball.

    I thought the move itself seemed decent. The pack had wheeled enough to slow the Connacht forwards entering the line and it looks like there were only 2 defenders on that side. Had the pass been accurate we had a 5 on 2. Henshaws read and pace were good, but had the pass from Redser been on the money and Gopperth transferred it quick enough we were away. Henshaw would have committed giving us a 4 on 1. I'd love to have seen Leaders positioning for that too as if he'd been caught out by it there was a try on there for sure. But even if he hadn't that was an opportunity that should have been converted into at least 5 points.

    Yeah, like I said it was a nice move having McFadden push into the 12 channel on the last second. I'd have loved to see what would happen if JG got the ball to him.
