Haven't started 2nd half much better

Now time for Connacht to get their act together in this half and take advantage of the extra man.

And then he misses touch!!!

Squidgy Black

Clearest yellow you'll see all season

Might be biased but after the last few weeks thought that was a red??

franglan

Copy and paste regularly - Carty not making touch from a penalty. Sick of it.

No there was an attempt to wrap/make the tackle so yellow was more than fair. If it had been a no arms tackle then yes.

Mul, it's over

Jesus Christ the kick to touch was within a foot of the line yet then bounced and rolled all the way over the dead ball line. You just know Connacht won't get anything outta this.

Would have been a regular thing but in his defence I think that's the first one I remember from him this season! There's a lot more wrong then jack this eve....

Inspector Coptoor

I can't believe it's not Butler

Ospreys with a man in the bin and conceding a try like that.

Awful stuff

I know but lord above I'm scared because of the last x amount of years.

LuckyGent88

This is abysmal stuff. That’s twice from poor box kicks that Ospreys have got the ball unchallanged. Embarrassing performance

Diabhal Beag

This is so gutting because I thought we were starting to be above the usual gutless away performances from the last 2 seasons. I know it's a work in progress still but this has to be one of the best teams on paper we've put out against a team with 300 injuries.

TBH we needed to win this even by the barest of margins to have a hope of Heineken Cup rugby next year.

I hope this post gets quoted after a remarkable comeback.

TOH slips again.

Comical performance, we're better than last year but still only a Challenge Cup team.

We're not good enough to mix it with any of the good teams just constant errors.

Not to nit pick but he did the same against Leinster in the first half.

His place kicking has improved but he's still good for one dead ball/missed touch per game.

This is the opreys academy squad. just when you think connacht have turned a corner, you get something like this..

Squidgy Black

Ten minutes against 14 men and conceding 7 points in those ten minutes is always a kick in the teeth.

franglan

Pace has ramped up a bit now.

Utopia Parkway

Disgrace of a performance this really. Look like a complacent side who turned up expecting to roll over an understength Ospreys.

franglan

Go through the phases there, you're on the flipping try line and haven't a penalty coming!!!

Diabhal Beag

Feel like big calls are required here. If Connacht win I will never post on Boards.ie again under any account.

Pulled the Jersey off the 9 at ruck! How's that not a pen?

The Irish national squad players look like the worst players on the pitch

Brain fart, banging on the try line and go for a cross field kick

We really don't deserve anything from this game. Seems like we expected to turn up and win as other posters have said.

We just aren't in the same league as a team who can do that!

Quoting so this doesn't get removed.

One of those if it works out - dont care - wrong decision. Take the points and learn not to do it again!
