    Cheers.

    Looks like Connacht could be on for a try bonus.

    Now that Leinster's regular season is effectively over, I have decided (in my magnanimity) to bestow my full support upon another team.

    Come on the Clan.

    Some kick from Godwin. Went about 80 yards into the corner.

    Is there any chance that wind might die come the 2nd half?! Some kick by Godwin. We need 30+ before half time

    Connacht need as many points as possible. Ospreys have been pretty poor but that’s a very strong wind.

    Absolute demolition. The disconnect between Welsh club rugby and Welsh international rugby is hard to credit.

    There was as much of a block by an Ospreys player on Dillane for the break there as what Colby did. Absolutely nothing. Should have the 4th try already. Hope we hold firm here before HT

    Holding on there is as cynical as offending when under pressure, should be a yellow.

    TOH would have scored a try there only he had the fastest player on the pitch chasing him.

    Thought the very same.

    Ospreys in danger of a yellow here.

    Would be great to get BP by HT

    Tiernan really caught for pace there, but credit to him for winning the turnover all the same.

    Giles is extremely quick and unfortunately he was close enough to TOH to chase him down there.

    That was a very harsh yellow and penalty try IMO. Happened in the tackle. Will take it though. With this wind didn’t think we had the game in the bag but we do now.

    What a fupping finish to that half. Massive, massive period in the game. 14 point swing in Connachts favour. I was out of my chair screaming at the tv. Brilliant stuff.

    Nah it was clear as day for me. One handed knocking of the ball to prevent it reaching the Connact player and stopping a certain try. Correct decision.

    Thought it looked more like it bounced off his shoulder than hand .. but maybe I'm just tripping.

    Combination of perennial underdog status and attractive rugby style.

    Plus the greyhound track. It must be the only rugby stadium in the world with a greyhound track.

    Super first half. Unlucky not to have a another but thought we were miles offside prior to the intercept for the last try. Bonus to be playing against 14 for the first 10 of the second half. Keep it up!

    I thought the same on first view but on the replays there is no attempt to catch. He should have been carded before it IMHO so it was coming.

    He had his hands out to tackle. He was never looking to play the ball. Fairly obvious I thought. Consensus from those around me was that it was very harsh. Can’t see how he batted the ball down.
