Connacht Team Talk Thread VI - Some like it TOH

Just brutal. Getting knocked into touch in the corner. Schoolboy stuff.

ElisaAtWar · 30-09-2022 06:01PM

Thought there were two forward passes. What ever happened to the captains challenge

ElisaAtWar · 30-09-2022 06:06PM

I know we have lost our first two games but this is already striking of desperation rather than anything cohesive

The one giving against porch was very borderline by comparison

ElisaAtWar · 30-09-2022 06:10PM

Just crazy from Hansen. This is total mental implosion

Game has gone off the rails, we need some leadership badly. Still in it, just need to calm down.

ClanofLams · 30-09-2022 06:11PM

We are a poorly coached team.

Haven't had proper leadership since Muldoon ...

testtech05 · 30-09-2022 06:16PM

That had to grounded in goal by arendse before the high tackle

Panic.

ClanofLams · 30-09-2022 06:26PM

The Bulls have been sloppy, way off their best and go in to half time with a 21 point lead.

This season is gonna be an absolute nightmare. If they try to persist with appointing Wilkins, the Connacht CEO and executive staff should be cleaned out. Use that six month clause that’s in every IRFU contract and clean house.

Shehal · 30-09-2022 06:26PM

It always amazes me how scripted and well times Connacht's screw ups are...

eastcoastclan · 30-09-2022 06:27PM

This seasons a write off ... At least Joe Joyce will bring a bit of physicality next year !

BrokenMan · 30-09-2022 06:27PM

Really struggling to see any cohesive game plan in attack or defence. Too static going forward and disjointed in defence.

There just made it too easy for teams to play against them.

testtech05 · 30-09-2022 06:27PM

Absolutely shocking half. Once we go past 2 phases we are just going backwards and the play becomes very predictable.

Could do with jack for a few more kicks from hand.

Hawkshaw looked great against us last season but this is a different level and will take time to get used to for him....

OldRio · 30-09-2022 06:37PM

Grim.

I really don't think any one player will make a difference in this team. The team selection is becoming irrelevant. There are bigger issues that need to be addressed. And this is very clear to see

OldRio · 30-09-2022 06:44PM

Good grief. Basics are awful.

Utopia Parkway · 30-09-2022 06:46PM

Connacht's defence is so so bad. Wilkins back in charge of it again this season.

Brief_Lives · 30-09-2022 06:46PM

This is painful to watch and definitely to play in, for the boys..

ClanofLams · 30-09-2022 06:48PM

On course to be 12/21 games since the start of last season Connacht have conceded 30+.

Give the entire coaching staff notice in the coming weeks.

It's so bad this season that I'd seriously consider the recall of George Hook to head coach as a progressive move.

ElisaAtWar · 30-09-2022 06:55PM

This is so hard to watch. There may be a few players who can't hack it at this level but the level of cluelessness is instrumental here. This is such a badly coached rugby team.

Losty Dublin · 30-09-2022 06:59PM

It appears as if Connaught aren't even contesting their own line outs.

AccidentallyOnside · 30-09-2022 06:59PM

The bulls have been poor tonight.

A decent team would have put 50 on us by now.

realhorrorshow · 30-09-2022 07:02PM

Dowling is game but just not powerful enough. Has slipped off multiple clearouts now.

BigRigsOnly · 30-09-2022 07:03PM

This ref has been appalling, many times they’ve been straight off feet in the breakdown and proceed to win the ball back and nothing called.

ClanofLams · 30-09-2022 07:05PM

I said four or five wins for the season a week ago, I think it might be 2/3 at this stage. So bad, so many basic errors, weak defence, non existent attack.

Have no idea what coaching staff are doing and pretty sure they don’t either.

realhorrorshow · 30-09-2022 07:05PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119686341#Comment_119686341

I'm actually more worried by the complete and utter collapse of our attack. The amount of simple drops and turnovers conceded off first phase has been abysmal.

testtech05 · 30-09-2022 07:06PM

2 more sin bins tonight for the opposition and no score for us.

We are no better against 14 than 15
