    Boyle do have a chance for 6 nations. He, Bealham and Marms are the (only) 3 pointing to international level today

    (Porch excepted obviously)

    Sullivan, Dillane, and Thornbury are very decent players though

    Surely, surely should have been a penalty to Heff there on the jackle

    Missed tackles led to both tries that we gave away

    Ridiculously long advantage there.

    Connacht do know the 2nd half started like 15 minutes ago?

    We wouldn't knock out a **** in this second half. Awful stuff.

    Disastrous first 10 minutes or so of the 2nd half. And more ropey tackling.

    Ospreys didn't get into 22 so no real advantage for them

    This has been a putrid performance and we're honestly lucky to be as close as we are.

    Just horrendous tackling again. Webb should never have made the line there.

    I don't think it's ever measured in time, just pitch position.

    I'll admit Murphy's refereeing frustrates me at time but if you don't know the difference between scrum and penalty advantage you are in no position to criticise any referee.

    Johnny Sexton watching Marmion with the looping plays

    All the more reason Carty should be playing!

    Would much rather have him starting v Wales

    Bizarre that he’s not playing here because Farrell is going to pick Sexton even if turned up on his zimmer frame.

    Thought Marmion had a good game but blade has come on and made a huge impact, great having that depth at 9

    We have tried not competing and hitting when they land numerous times and it failed every one. Would have been far better off contesting lineout

    Hard to know with medical updates these days but I'd have Duggan and either of Aungier or Roberson McCoy ahead...

    Just abysmal since half time.

    I honestly dont know how we're third in the conference with games in hand, this is as bad as we've been in recent memory.

    We've had far better teams finish further down the table than this.
