No rumours of any incoming players at all?

No real surprises.

Can't say I know enough about them to comment on the strength of the team. Biggest surprise for me is that Tigers have Harry Potter playing on the wing.

Be interesting to see if McPhillips has developed, always thought he looked good for Ireland underage.

Ben Youngs has more caps than the rest of the XV. No Ford is a big one for us. That spiral bomb against Newcastle last week would have terrorised Porch.

Two debutant sub front rows as well

Beatable team. Connacht bench looks much better especially the forwards.

Looking at that Leicester team you would think their primary interest is top 4 in the premiership and the challenge cup is very secondary. Would be very disappointing not to see a Connacht win

HON Connacht!!!

ElisaAtWar · 03-04-2021 07:59PM

If I were to register a disappointment with Andy Friend it would be that while we are decent going forward, we are shocking going in the opposite direction

ElisaAtWar · 03-04-2021 08:01PM

Looking forward to Young's vs Carty

macslash · 03-04-2021 08:09PM

Great break by SOB

A-Train · 03-04-2021 08:10PM

A lovely break and finish

Squidgy Black · 03-04-2021 08:11PM

Fantastic break by SOB and great pace on Marmion to finish it, great start

ClanofLams · 03-04-2021 08:14PM

Really don’t understand decision not to contest lineout there, have stolen some amount of opposition ball from lineout this season whereas maul defence a long standing issue even if occasional improvements.

Burkie1203 · 03-04-2021 08:15PM

"Maul defence" must incur fines if said at connacht.

testtech05 · 03-04-2021 08:15PM

Very poor maul defense again there, seemed very easy for them

Buer · 03-04-2021 08:15PM

The Connacht maul defence doesn't appear to have improved at all despite it being a real issue for some time now.

That's not a Leicester pack that should be shoving Connacht back so easily.

realhorrorshow · 03-04-2021 08:17PM

Embarrassing try to concede, Connacht in a nutshell this season.

Utopia Parkway · 03-04-2021 08:17PM

That’s an awful try to concede. Picks it up from the ruck and runs straight through the middle without anyone laying a finger on him.

After a good start 2 shocking tries conceeded in quick succession

macslash · 03-04-2021 08:19PM

That was shocking

Burkie1203 · 03-04-2021 08:20PM

That's a penalty and card ffs

testtech05 · 03-04-2021 08:21PM

Porch just copped 2 hand in the face there how's that not a pen at least

gally74 · 03-04-2021 08:25PM

If bundee did that tackle he d be sent off

testtech05 · 03-04-2021 08:26PM

Shoulder to the jaw of wooton there not checked either. apparently tmo checked the porch one too which makes it even more mind boggling for me

macslash · 03-04-2021 08:29PM

This lad must not have the cards with him tonight ffs

Larbre34 · 03-04-2021 08:29PM

Connacht are great to watch in attack. Wearing all black is definitely rubbing off.

Normally a bunch of kids are a little reticent to display such aggression but this Leicester team are filth.

Larbre34 · 03-04-2021 08:32PM

Sickener. Absolute sickener.
