Fair enough. Excuse my crankiness, I'm sure can guess why.

Replacement front row are getting minced

Is Aungier injured?

And Dom?

Our maul defence is pathetic and has been for some time. What are we doing in training?

That was coming. Lucky enough not to get a yellow card

ClanofLams

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...

On what planet was that not in from the side on Ospreys

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.

When Blade knocked on? Absolutely in from the side.

**** sake, couldn't buy a break

That never went forward for me either, back off bundee and Oliver juggles and caught

That wasn't carried back in..

Some very silly errors the past few minutes have cost them some great field position.

Pretty much sums up Connacht today...

Porch was unlucky to be fair, Ospreys player pulled out at the last second.

Another one. Fitz gets robbed.

And Connacht will get one more chance. And lose it again. Sigh.

Papa has been a disaster signing

Had loads of chances here in the end but couldn’t hold onto the ball.

I’m impressed at how good Connacht have been at consistently ****ing up a good chance...

Don't think he even lost it nearly handed to him in the end.

Not sure why we tapped and went there. Our decision making in tight games is really awful the last while

Friend has done a decent job and recruited well in particular but the persistent inconsistency in performance is a real issue and the same areas repeatedly being weaknesses doesn’t reflect well either. Team doesn’t seem to learn from errors either.

Maybe just frustration after that and the players have to take their share of responsibility but from my perspective a change wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.
