Connacht Team Talk Thread VI - Some like it TOH

Why not stop the rot and take the 3 there. They're a kick away from taking the lead.

Buer · 22-03-2021 10:27PM

Silly from Connacht trying to maul it. 10 man rugby never works.

its_phil · 22-03-2021 10:28PM

Ah Murray

Euphoriasean · 22-03-2021 10:29PM

Need a try here to settle things.

ClanofLams · 22-03-2021 10:30PM

Another moment of real quality from Murray although shouldn’t have thrown the pass, picked up rugby five years ago - gonna be some player in another couple of years....

Bazzo · 22-03-2021 10:31PM

Scarlets made a balls of that after a serious counter drive but thought it should have been a penalty for jumping across anyway

Aaaand we **** it up

Buer · 22-03-2021 10:32PM

Scarlets had done the hard part and ruined the maul. Just needed to grab the carrier instead of tackling him.

22-03-2021 10:32PM

Our lineout/maul haven't been that good to go to that twice there. A scrum or tap should have been taken the first time... not that we shouldn't have taken the 3 again.

Utopia Parkway · 22-03-2021 10:36PM

Had to pop out at half time and thought the game was as good as over. WTF?

its_phil · 22-03-2021 10:37PM

Not good from Jack since he came on

tobdom · 22-03-2021 10:38PM

We clearly didn't take too kindly to being so far behind in the missed tackles stats at half time. Absolutely embarrassing 2nd half, we're a laughing stock defensively. So disheartening given how good we are going forward

22-03-2021 10:38PM

Of course now they wont turn down the 3 and can take the lead.

Awful game management. You're after throwing a lead away and had two chances to go 5 clear and take a line out that wasnt mauling well.

Utopia Parkway · 22-03-2021 10:40PM

Completely blown it here unless they pull something out of the bag.

its_phil · 22-03-2021 10:40PM

Jeez would Whitehouse call a crooked line out. 3 of the last four have been awful

Bazzo · 22-03-2021 10:42PM

Jokeshop stuff. Don't think I've ever seen a worse second half performance than this

Euphoriasean · 22-03-2021 10:42PM

Even by connachts standards that has to one of the worst that we've thrown away.

Can't believe how awful they've been since ht. They wouldn't fight sleep.

This is a disgraceful performance second half. I think we really need to consider bringing in a new defence coach next season.

its_phil · 22-03-2021 10:42PM

21 points up and now not getting a LBP.

Combined with Edinburgh this is awful. There’s a question around the coaching staff and a call for freshness

sioda · 22-03-2021 10:42PM

I can't believe this is the same match.

Whitehouse at his usual level that last lineout wasn't anywhere near straight

UAEguy2020 · 22-03-2021 10:42PM

Jesus, this is a monumental collapse even by Connacht standards...

Feck me Bealham has been an utter disaster on wheels

I've a feeling he might have been having a few beers in ireland camp when he got the late call. Has been poor

Buer · 22-03-2021 10:43PM

Thought they had the try 2 carries before, to be honest. Looked grounded on the line before he pushed it back.

It's irritating given a certain red card was weasled out of by the TMO.

Boscoirl · 22-03-2021 10:45PM

That offside intercept pen looked very close to ok from me. And the fact the Welsh TV didn’t show a replay prob meant he was onside

Red card no excuse at all. They were 21 points up at half time without it. Failing to close that out is an embarrassment.

UAEguy2020 · 22-03-2021 10:45PM

Even after all this and needing a big 5 minutes to turn it around Connacht still give away cheap penalties...

Utopia Parkway · 22-03-2021 10:46PM

An unbelievable collapse really. From 21 points up at half time to actually being well beaten in the end.

Connacht have had a handful of disastrous losses towards the end of games this season but this might take the cake.

Indeed. I was just trying to give a little consolation, to be honest!

29-0 to the Scarlets since the break is horrendous.

We've realistically needed a new defence coach for a number of seasons now. Always undoing our good attacking work, so frustrating.....

I rewound it and froze it. Looks like he was onside to me. Just serious line speed made him look offside.
