    We're still playing like a team in pre-season. Jack kicking the ball away a few times. At least we're still in it but now against the wind, Ospreys will kick it back over us second half.

    They are off the boil badly. So many awful errors and execution.

    Why doesn't the TMO get involved to correct a clearly wrong decision like that?

    Feck it
    0 points from 2 home games. Who would have thought that 2 weeks ago.

    At least it's Zebre next time

    -57 points difference after 2 games.

    Only Zebre are worse but they have a losing bonus point

    Two tough fixtures to start the season though.

    Perhaps not being in Europe has given Ospreys a kick up the arse. They grossly underachieved last year.

    Connacht rock bottom of the table after 2 home games. Ospreys cut them open in last 15 minutes. Some serious heart searching to be done. Ospreys look seriously impressive and Rhys Webb is a class apart.

    I think it's more the scorelines than the results that are most shocking.
    I truly think Connacht will come away from Italy with 5 points, but it's still a bad start all round.

    Shipping 73 points and scoring just 16 is pretty poor.

    Finley B stuck out like a sore finger...... A passenger in the game. Bundi I think is missing his right hand man......brilliant player but like a lot of the team was absent for the roll call.

    Jack was hot and cold again. Some great kicking from hand and then just brainless kicks. O'Leary looked great when he came on which gives me hope for the future. I think Jack needs to start against Zebre for consistency with the team. I don't think anybody was terrible but they are not playing like a team yet. Much better than last week but still a long way to go. Is it me or is there a lack of leadership on the field. Nobody seems to be shouting to organise defence or attack.

    Connacht won't be getting top 6 this season I'm afraid, it saddens me to say this but they look as if there confidence has been sucked completely out of them. Also, Osperys won't be a force this year not a chance, especially after tonight and dont start crowning them as an excuse for Connacht going off the boil numerous times tonight, Ospreys where 50/50 for most of tonight until the effects of Connacht's lack of a pre season kicked in and then it was a cake walk. The likes of Ulster,Leinster,Glasgow will beat them I'm sure if they where to play next week, Cardiff imo are easily the best Welsh side and would beat them aswell, even Munster would beat them. Weren't great yesterday but would have the game plan to do it with there dominant pack. Top 6 this season looks pretty clear cut and it will come down to who has the deepest squad in the long run which I think is Glasgow,Ulster,Leinster,Munster. This is the issue that always handicaps Welsh teams in the pro12 (e.g Scarlets last year).

    Aki a marked man. Webb grabbing him at the base of the 5m scrum in first half not letting him get moving. Teams will trawl thru every minute of footage from last season to see how to nullify connacht.

    Long long way to go yet. Don't think anything is clear cut after two games.

    Dismal start from Connacht though to ship 73 points in two home games. Last season hangover and Injuries or not that is an awful way to start the season but plenty of twists and turns to come yet.
