What are you trying to say here kita? I dont get you mean?

kita99 · 03-11-2023 10:07PM

I'm sorry to get angry because of my poor English vocabulary and ability of expression. I want Conncht players to prevent thoughtless or careless mistake like penalty try, restarting play(kicking and Knock on) and others those happened last week vs Glasgow match. Sorry again.

No need to apologize just couldnt see what you were trying to say..

Tommybojangles · 04-11-2023 04:36PM

Must say @kita99 you've been a great addition to this forum, it's a small enough group of posters and can get a bit repetitive at times* so the more the merrier!

(*Not blaming anyone for that!)

Tommybojangles · 04-11-2023 04:38PM

I see Connacht shared a pic of the Cordero family all decked out in green for the match tonight. Such a blow that Santi had to go down, was a really exciting signing. Hopefully he recovers and can contribute next year but the lack of detail or updates on the Injury is very worrying

You didn't mention Jennings at all macslash. I thought he really showed huge potential

It is a strange team selection. Think Connacht will do what Connacht will do but why Ulster selected this team is anybody's guess. It's certainly a very strange call

ElisaAtWar · 04-11-2023 08:11PM

Anyway I will watch this from home in the comfort of a fire😂

Of those 19 players missing, only James McCormick and Greg Jones don't immediately walk into that 23.

Postlethwaite, Curtis and Marshall all probably replace Moxham with Moore and Addison on the field.

PCeeeee · 04-11-2023 08:22PM

You get your point across just grand Kita. No apologies needed.

Really looking forward to this now. Connacht Abú

ElisaAtWar · 04-11-2023 08:26PM

and how do you seperate Forde and Farrell. Bundee Aki? Really tough call

Paul Smeenus · 04-11-2023 08:39PM

Addison out now as well. No idea who comes onto the bench. Christ the night.

Burkie1203 · 04-11-2023 09:13PM

Carty would drive you mad

Neil3030 · 04-11-2023 09:14PM

This commentator is good. Is this guy I'd have heard doing AIL?

Wegians89 · 04-11-2023 09:19PM

SHL a big loss at the breakdown

realhorrorshow · 04-11-2023 09:24PM

Atrocious first half, we'll see how many points the wind is worth I guess. The lack of a kicking option is forcing us to persist with our anaemic phase play. What happened to SHL? Some sort of collision with Crothers I assume?

Locke_Lamora · 04-11-2023 09:25PM

Proud of that half from Ulster given the injuries. Loads of areas to work on but we were beaten up around the park against you lot last time out, so I’m happy to see us counter-rucking and being physical in defence.

ElisaAtWar · 04-11-2023 09:25PM

Jack will save us 😟

OldRio · 04-11-2023 09:28PM

Ulster deserve the lead. They are bossing the breakdown. All the possession in the world doesn't equate to points.

dockysher · 04-11-2023 09:32PM

Surely carty is nowhere near this standard anymore. Ever game so many poor kicks. Declined a lot.

testtech05 · 04-11-2023 09:33PM

That is a pretty pathetic showing in the first half. Getting dominated at the breakdown all evening and despite all the possession only had one real try scoring opportunity cos we can't protect the ball.

Langton was a big loss to the breakdown but generally seem like a bunch of lads who were expecting an easier night. Need to respond quickly after half time

MayoForSam · 04-11-2023 09:36PM

That was woeful defending.

dockysher · 04-11-2023 09:38PM

And that could br game over, even this early. Terrible

MayoForSam · 04-11-2023 09:53PM

Comeback is on, but bad penalty to give away after the restart. Good conversion from Jack, wind has dropped.

Euphoriasean · 04-11-2023 10:02PM

Surely Ulster brought it back into their 22 there.

sioda · 04-11-2023 10:11PM

That's a criminal miss tbh

Euphoriasean · 04-11-2023 10:16PM

Ulster very lucky to get away without a card there.

testtech05 · 04-11-2023 10:26PM

Lot of criticism of jack at half time. Didn't see he did that much wrong in the first half the whole team was terrible.

The penalty miss in the second half way very very bad (he's far too prone to them) but he made up for it for me with the kick to the corner and Crossfield for the last try.

A tbp would have been nice or even to keep the LBP from them but delighted to get the win after how it looked after 45 mins

ElisaAtWar · 04-11-2023 10:34PM

JC. the usual aimless kicking down the middle. He blows my mind
