Connacht Team Talk Thread VI - Some like it TOH

that was a terrible call.

Connacht are infuriating.

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

Lol but that turn over is totally fine ofcourse

Adamson you are an absolute disgrace to rugby.

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.

De butlear must have been injured was he Heffernan back on

Adamson is an awful referee. Bundee concedes a penalty for language and a Benetton backrow swore like a sailor in the first half but got not even a warning.

That said Connacht's woeful handling, weak defense at the breakdown and all in all sloppiness is 100% what cost us, not the officials. We're in for an awful few years with these coaches.

Jesus Christ how did he knock that ball on. The players just havent been concentrating from the beginning.

Semi final would have been nice but a totally undeserved gloss on a shite season tbf. Couple of refereeing decisions were poor but we're way off. Handling and middle of the field defending the obvious ones but anything good in attack is entirely built off individual quality and I don't see any discernible scheme or plan. So frustrating because in all honesty the talent available isn't far off what we had in 2016, just awfully awfull coached imo.

I mean 70 points conceded against Fukking Pau and Treviso and not a lesson learned.

Three of those Treviso tries were due to unacceptable lapses by Connacht. We need accountability, instead we will be give bromides. Close games lost at the death, capitulations, and amateur errors - this has been the story of this season. Enough of the plucky little under-resourced province attitude, somebody should lose their job.

There were positives to be had from today: Jennings and Devine. Our back line looked a lot better at the end than it did at the beginning, selections have been so poor all year.

I wasn't expecting to win this game based on our season so far but I was hopeful that last week's game could be a catalyst for improvement. Sadly not to be. I believe that this coaching team is no longer viable as a collective entity. I've no idea who needs to go but collectively they are bankrupt.

I'd heard comments about bundi, Bealham and Mack making a difference but to be honest you could select South Africa en masse and put them in a Connacht jersey now and they would be cack.

When good players play shite rugby consistently then look at the environment.

Week in and week out it's the same. Week in and week out it's the same players that disappoint. So the question is why do we select these players that disappoint week in and week out. Dave's lineout has been an issue for years. So why does he keep getting selected. Hawkshaw needed to replaced by Farrell and shouldn't even be on the team sheet. Forde should have started at 10 and I would prefer never to see Jack or JJ within our 23. Instead stupid replacements. Thankfully Devine replaced Blade. An obvious move. Other than that they haven't a clue. This management is a complete joke.

Is that you Wilkins? Why not? You have tried everything else. OR HAVE YOU?

I wouldn't hold out much hope for IRFU guidance. Humphreys is new to the job and probably still settling in. Ulster have problems as serious as ours, although they're ahead of us in terms of installing a new management. Still, I'd imagine that the northerners have priority on his attention, in terms of contribution to irish squads they are underperforming us despite a bigger budget and player base.

Ok, only issue he didn't come on at fullback
