    I have not seen anything that suggests we're going to win this. The opposite tbh.

    That's criminal stuff against 14 for the majority of the game.

    You cant help but laugh so far. Connacht literally cant do anything right tonight and yet from a 5 metre line out try a long over throw....I am genuinely shocked that they made a balls of it...SHOCKED I TELL YOU!

    You honestly wonder do Connacht want to concede a try here, its like every time they manage to get out of jail they manage to do something unbelievably stupid to give Cardiff back the ball...


    EDIT - And they got their wish at last, try Cardiff.

    That's scandalous stuff given they had half time to reset and game plan for 5 minutes against 13.

    This is awful. It's like they want to lose.

    Have to say though that the referee gave Cardiff a lot of time to get that ball out of the maul.

    Christ Ref, if you're going to call use it then penalise him when he doesn't!

    4 changes and wouldn’t surprise me if we get worse.

    Another brainless penalty and we go from their line to our own 22

    Connacht genuinely should be ashamed of the performance, alot of these errors are just laziness and lack of effort which is unacceptable at this level

    Lucky, that wasn't what TOH was trying to do.

    Need to get Carty and McDonald on here half backs no control at all and the ref is fed up with Blade

    So basically our plan seems to be to try to hang with them, hope they run out of gas & nick it at the end.

    Just really poor.

    Like FFS move the ball quickly. Tire them out. Keeping it tight is just playing into their hands.

    Never been so hacked off with a Connacht performnace. It’s been absolutely pathetic. Seems like there is no leadership out there either.

    Been a slog to get back ahead.

    Next possession crucial.

    Comms on RTE 2 are ridiculous, talking about how the game is won now & going for a bonus point? Have they been watching the same game as me? This game is very much in the balance.

    It looks like Connacht spent the last 4 weeks on the beer.

    I'm not sure about going for goal there shows the mindset of the team I suppose and how they have been playing

    I've thought that a few times but then we keep letting them back in

    only thing to say about this game is that it's nearly over
