Connacht Team Talk Thread VI - Some like it TOH

Should have put it in the corner and avoided being isolated

Absolute insanity from Connacht.

Fook me that was brave

All we want is consistency, eh...

Edinburgh are terrible. So many errors.

Previous poster talked about consistency but there isn't unfortunately

There was a match in the 6n where the ref was penalising players ahead of the kicker not standing still. This ref calls the same player a few times to stop, not too long before their penalty. The consistency at which laws are applied is awful

Nervy ten minutes ahead.

What kind of ban are we looking at here? 3 reduced to 2weeks?

2 matches minimum I'd say, which would mean he'd miss the Leicester game!

I would think a ban would be minimal. Red card under the rules but no intent

Based on the last few matches that’s a red card

Unfortunately so. Once there is consistency there no complaints. Hopefully he won't be banned for the challenge cup

No surprise a red was given.going to be hard now

You can't really argue with that.

Yes, no mitigation at all. Awful tackle.

Carty is infuriating. Kicking the ball away in the 22 for no reason. Hold onto the ball!

Surely Edinburgh is completely offside on that maul

Second half already hard work.

Seemed a mad decision to decline the 3 (weather?) but that worked out. Big difference between 14-5 and 10-5.

I think with the gale behind us we needed to come away with more than 3 there. Even at 14-5 it's a big ask into the conditions.

On that there was a long discussion between butler and the ref before kick off seemed to be suggesting the teams were lined up in the wrong direction

It's not making any difference to his binding issues :-)

Needed that before HT. Will be tough in the second. Rain is fairly coming down

Been cut apart twice now when our 'A' defender has rushed out of the line without any support on his inside.

All that possession yet after two attacks they're level.. and to be fair, they made a mess of the first one with a bad knock on.

Edit: he missed so we'll say "one score each"
