      We're getting absolutely smashed here.... they'll score 60 at this rate.

      Probably a bit less in fairness. Prob 25, no less than 20. Connors is listed as 102, but I do t believe that for a second (maybe 3-4 years ago)

      Why? That’s a totally believeable weight for a man of his frame and height as seen by other players

      What height do you want him to tackle him at just out of interest?

      I wasn't criticizing the height of the tackle, I was explaining how one that isn't high could still lead to head damage.

      I am at the game and I too was able to watch it at my leisure. Initial contact was to the chest and then head therefore it should have been yellow.

      You’re wrong

      You must have looked at the wrong screen he never touched the head

      Not sure why your at the match and on boards?

      If that’s true they will have to ban all tackles in rugby

      Jesus James Lowe is almost as annoying as Itoje

      Woohoo

      Something tells me connacht will do it again and turn us over in the sports ground.

      I'm on connacht +4 @evens and win @13/8.

      In saying that, I've probably just put a hex on them

      I apologise to Connacht fans for foisting my betting hex on them

      Have to say this version of Henshaw at 13 is playing well! And another try!

      Definitely no head contact. Carry looked like he dived - but he didn't. It was the hit, on his chest, that rattled him and made his head whip a bit.

      Lowe is just being held back at the moment. Not giving him the ball is all that is keeping this score respectable for Conaucht

      Hopefully Cian Healy lands a drop goal from 40m at some stage.

      Haven’t seen Connacht play this poorly in a very long time. Leinster playing superbly too

      Its something you can do when your forwards are facing no realistic opposition. Offloading is not a strategy. It is a consequence of domination.

      They also do ball recycling at speed!

      It was better crack at Christmas when we let them think they had a chance of winning and then took it away

      Carty just opened a farmers field gate for him

      Must be concussed after banging his head during the dive.
