I have not seen anything that suggests we're going to win this. The opposite tbh.

That's criminal stuff against 14 for the majority of the game.

Shehal

You cant help but laugh so far. Connacht literally cant do anything right tonight and yet from a 5 metre line out try a long over throw....I am genuinely shocked that they made a balls of it...SHOCKED I TELL YOU!

Borders no.2

I wish I had your confidence. We are laughably bad

Shehal

You honestly wonder do Connacht want to concede a try here, its like every time they manage to get out of jail they manage to do something unbelievably stupid to give Cardiff back the ball...

EDIT - And they got their wish at last, try Cardiff.

cson

That's scandalous stuff given they had half time to reset and game plan for 5 minutes against 13.

eagle eye

This is awful. It's like they want to lose.

Have to say though that the referee gave Cardiff a lot of time to get that ball out of the maul.

cson

Christ Ref, if you're going to call use it then penalise him when he doesn't!

Borders no.2

Jesus blade needs to be taken off for that alone. Finally have a bit of pressure

OldRio

Have any of them a Rugby brain?

Blade is awful

cson

FFS Blade.

So cheap.

Utopia Parkway

4 changes and wouldn’t surprise me if we get worse.

Borders no.2

Another brainless penalty and we go from their line to our own 22

Shehal

Connacht genuinely should be ashamed of the performance, alot of these errors are just laziness and lack of effort which is unacceptable at this level

cson

Lucky, that wasn't what TOH was trying to do.

testtech05

Need to get Carty and McDonald on here half backs no control at all and the ref is fed up with Blade

cson

So basically our plan seems to be to try to hang with them, hope they run out of gas & nick it at the end.

Just really poor.

cson

Like FFS move the ball quickly. Tire them out. Keeping it tight is just playing into their hands.

Utopia Parkway

Never been so hacked off with a Connacht performnace. It’s been absolutely pathetic. Seems like there is no leadership out there either.

We seem to think they are a man down in the pack or something......

testtech05

About time

CMcsporty

Jared Butler is a proper rugby player

cson

Been a slog to get back ahead.

Next possession crucial.

Comms on RTE 2 are ridiculous, talking about how the game is won now & going for a bonus point? Have they been watching the same game as me? This game is very much in the balance.

Utopia Parkway

Cardiff maybe tiring a bit.

FACECUTTR

It looks like Connacht spent the last 4 weeks on the beer.

testtech05

I'm not sure about going for goal there shows the mindset of the team I suppose and how they have been playing

Borders no.2

Finally look to be wearing cardiff down. Need to put them to bed before the last 5.

I've thought that a few times but then we keep letting them back in

ElisaAtWar

only thing to say about this game is that it's nearly over

testtech05

Seems embarrassing to be celebrating that
