Connacht Team Talk Thread VI - Some like it TOH

Are any of Dooley, Blade, Ralston injured?

I don't think he's been dropped. Look at the amount of regular starters missing.

I think it can go only one way tomorrow and that's from bad to worse,poor recruitment is the cause of the lack of improvement over the last 4 years. One Mack Hansen isn't going to buck that trend

Or you could say one Wilkins, one Muldoon and one sexton have bucked the trend.....

I'm ok with the squad on an individual basis but something stinks in the set up.

I wouldn't say no to another few international standard players but this squad is more than good enough to have a minimum expectation of top eight.

Total Coaching failure imo.

Whats McDonald like?

And what is the fascination with playing Hawkshaw at 13?

The winning combination must be just around the corner. Will surely hit on it before the end of the season. It's clear to me that we have just been incredibly unlucky not to have already solved the problem. Our issues are clearly down to the perfect starting 15.

Forde needs to start getting those clearances off the pitch

Embarrassingly easy try for Benetton. People are seemingly paid to devise defensive reads, which is money well wasted this season.

The scrum will cost us today.

How many phases can they go back to check a knock on? That's the way the season is going as it sounded like might have been a penalty try coming there.

This might be the most toothless I've seen Connacht in over a decade. They have no belief that they can can finish from close range.

It's not nice watching a team with mo belief in themselves. We have the players to be much better than this muck but not the coaching ticket.

Even that Bolton break you knew they'd get caught.

Please don't rule this out for a forward pass. Well worked

Fairplay to McDonald and Murray. Lovely read and a great line.

Criminal from Carty. Simply has to make touch from that penalty.

Thought the same he definitely released.

Poor touch miss from jack always probe to them. Stil think he offered a fa mor than JJ in play though
