    Cardinal sin from Blade there, receiving team should never EVER tap the ball back because all the momentum is with the chasers. U12 stuff.

    Blade is playing absolute kamikaze rugby. At fault for two trys already.

    Heffernan approached that ball like it was a live hand grenade.

    This is pure Connacht right now

    All they've done is drop the ball and fail to catch kicks.

    Really pushing Ulster for who's the biggest clown of the weekend.

    What is going on with this team. We all knew the head coach appointment was a joke but how have these players regressed and lost belief so badly

    How are the closest 3 players we had to the kick there our whole front row? We are a joke so far. I thought after the perfect start we got it might help settle is seems to have had th opposite effect

    I feel terrible for the poor fans that paid to be on the same charter flight as this Duffy's Circus of a team. This is beyond embarrassing.

    That's one of the worst, most overly-officious TMO calls I've ever seen. They're not meant to be there to re-ref the **** game, the ref didn't ask for input. Honestly that's a disgrace.

    That happens at basically every line out. Ridiculously harsh.

    Oh god here comes the Glasgow Warriors refereeing, seeing absolutely every thing Connacht do but then not be as picky with Benetton.

    Im not an expert on mauls but was that a harsh call for the tmo to come in with. Looked like he came in behind Heff and slipped up the side

    It was the correct call.

    Dumb infringement - they were going over anyway

    Benneton fans booing everything despite being nearly home and hosed is poor enough form

    Connacht get over anyway thankfully, need to kick quickly before Hollie digs through the rule book to find some excuse to disallow the try!

    Next score is vital. I'd be taking Blade off immediately. Devine can't be any worse than that first half.

    Odd half, we've been very poor but the difference at half time is two freak tries from errors on kick receipt. Hard to see us winning but it's not over yet.

    It really was a shocking call. And if Adamson was a half decent referee he would call the TMO out for a bullshit call

    Agreed. McDonald, also, was better. This business with Caolin as captain is also insanity.

    Connacht are just going to be whistled off the park for the remaining 35 mins aren't they. Or at least to a point the game is dead.

    Well that was always going to happen when Adamson was named the ref.

    And as is common when Connacht have pressed the self destruct button the scrum has always collapsed.

    Surely that was a try!?

    Cmon TMO, where are you now?

    That was bizarre. Don't think the confusion over who was to tap the ball was part of the plan, but Bundee ploughs through two men to score anyway.

    After a brief window of hope we concede another very soft penalty in front of the posts

    Oh get lost Adamson. Sorry Connacht, you simply aren't going to be allowed get close here. Absolute textbook turnover, the Connacht player is on his **** feet holding the ball.

    Connacht can only win if they are clearly the better side, anything else is going to require Connacht to win the majority of 50/50s which they simply wont be able to do with Adamson as the ref, prime example is that penalty there.

    Connacht are infuriating.

    Get themselves back in the game then do everything they can to hand the game back to Benneton.

    Well done to Devine. Blade needs to be dropped for the next few games. Give Devine more gametime.

    Connacht get a try back but sadly miss the conversion so still a 3 score lead.

    When clowns such as Blade and Hanrahan are you're "experienced players" you arent going to go anywhere fast unfortunately.

    Referees are ruining games...not just today..just in general....so many objective calls around the breakdown, scrums etc....theres fùck all consistency and its painful to watch...

    And then when the game is over...the ref just hands out mickey mouse penalties to the losing side to balance out the stats....

    See Karl Dickson yesterday as a prime example....
