completely agree that was a tackle off the ground
It's went well so far but very lucky to get away with the Hawkshaw tackle.
Hopefully they can press on in the second half and get the five pointer.
Why are Connacht kicking the ball with an extra man on 40 minutes?
On the credit side, he's turned the ball over three times, which must be a record for a back this season.
Yeah he could do with working on that a bit, although game time is probably the best way to do it.
Hes an extremely hard worker and great pace. Could see fans taking to him quickly
He didn't stamp on him
He stood on him, it was pure accidental with no intent
Look at the reaction of all the players and fans
It was only when the slow-mo replay that there was a reaction
Yeah Smith has been brilliant, fantastic work ethic. He has things to work on but as said above, the more time he gets the more he'll learn. He could have a great career ahead of him.
I'm enjoying how proactive both wingers have been in coming off their wing to look for work.
Brilliant try by Smith.
That is outrageously good
Don't think Smith's foot was actually touching the line. Seemed like it was hovering over the line.
Wow looked good even with the slo mo's
Asbolutely robbed there. His heel was in the air when it looked over the line from the front. Superb finish
Wtf? It's clear from the sideline angle that he was never out. How do they ignore that? There's green between his boot and the line. FFS👿
Has the ref changed at half time?
That wasn't in touch?
There was no clear evidence that he was in touch there. Should have awarded the try IMO.
Yeah ref injured or something
Yes, justice. He deserves that for his world class effort being wrongly ruled out.
Was that the Taoiseach in the crowd?
Jaysis....Mark Robson is all in on the new stadium name.
Yeah. He was in Athenry today for the turning of the sod for the new Dexcom plant. And Dexcom have also just bought the naming rights for the Sportgrounds (now called the Dexcom Stadium). So that explains why he's at the match
That's why company's do this. Media exposure
Its great though when they are losing.
All going well Austin Healy is on the mic and leinster give leciester a pasting tomo!
Shayne Bolton should go play Junior football once the rugby season finishes.
Connacht making it hard for themselves here
Great defensive again on the line
Another steal by smith, Hawkshaw having a cracker too. One of the pair of them have to be motm
Hawkshaw motm
Did that penalty try just cost us a place in the challenge cup? My understanding was that we had to win by 20+.
Bonus point will get us there, could stay in the champions cup if Saracens get nothing
