After 10 mins I think I would have taken that half time score
Carty WTF
now I understand why they are kicking pens to the corner
Horrific strike
Shocking penalty miss from Carty. Should be able to backheel that over.
ANd then he goes and does that just when I was saying he was doing well.... Shocking miss. Worth letting Forde or Hawkshaw kick the goals surely
Forde goalkicking seems like such a no brainer, could be a point of difference for him at international level too.
Prendergast. Proper fight
Making a mess of the rucks
Smith is trying so hard and doing a lot of good work but was a good chance of a break there it seemed and looked like an easy enough catvh
Playing really well. Shamus has had some good moments too. The back row with Boyle has a nice balance to it I think
He has so much upside but his core skills are a bit lacking, if he can improve them he could be an international.
Missed touch
Gimme kick missed
Out on the full
Bad day with the boot for Jack
AH Colm what were ya thinking there. We seem to have lost our way completely since the missed kick. Treviso not exactly flying either this game is there to be won
Jennings is a class act, we should really be using him more.
He has been showing that since last season.
Obviously we don't know what happens, but I don't know what more he could do with the few minutes he does get. The sort of player that makes things happen.
The pack did their best there to make that conversion lockable.
very clever pick and drive from Prendergast
Deserved it
Despite the forward pass
Comment deleted.
Mcjxyxyxucicovo, sick.
Ouch. Poor D there
Tbh its justice Benetton got that score, Connacht have been a disgrace for most of this game. They get let off the hook with that missed DG and within 1 minute give Benetton another opportunity to win the game.
Defeat from the jaws of victory yet again. In truth bar a 20 min spell before half time we are poor.
After defending pretty well most of the game the score seemed to come quite easily for them at the end
Well they were no worse than the team we normally start. Maybe a couple of more games would improve them. At this stage we have nothing to gain from the season only look to develop some younger players.
Can't defend, can't attack, can't kick reliably, no leadership. No obvious game plan. Going backwards fast unfortunately.
Only caught the second half but what I saw was plenty of industry and physicality, but very little quality or smarts. Was an exciting game in its own way but you'd be hard pushed finding two attacks as unsophisticated at this level.
Never want to advocate for anyone to lose their job but perhaps we'd be a better served with Sexton as skills coach and some new ideas for the attack. If I have to watch centres taking two metre flat passes off ten at a standstill and getting stuffed for another season I will have an aneurysm.
Made some balls of that. Story of the season.
Lost the Leinster home game and Benetton away to last gasp tries. Not to mention blowing the draw at Edinburgh at the death as well.
Now that's just harsh. Yep I'm gutted but that was better than last weekend
This is connacht of 20 years ago...
To be fair to Jackman he went through them for a shortcut during the week after the Lions game. Said it was the worst performance all season by any Irish side.
Last week is no yardstick to measure anything on.
Look at the season overall, it's been a shambles. I hate saying it but its a fact. Seriois questions need to be asked top to bottom.
Warriors like Prendergast and Hurley-Langton deserve better. Any of Forde or Hawkshaw at 10 would've worked better. We cannot continue with Carty at 10, and yet he's still there. Unbelievable. Like last week results are with us. Edinburgh have lost to the Sharks with no bonus point and the Ospreys are beating the Lions.
Ospreys beating Lions 36 -21 shows how poor Connacht were last week.
