Good lord that's a weak team. Throwing the away european games? I know it's an argument had here every year but I really think the challenge cup is more winnable than the league and would love to see us go all out. The excitement a home semi in Galway for example would bring would be unreal.
Boyle and Hawkshaw both started and played great last Sunday.
And I normally say good but I'm saying great for those two.
......
The weak-points of Connacht seems at ②, ⑩, ⑮. Is Heffernan or DTM are injury? About Carty, his deffence is verry well lately, his problem is kicking, so Connacht should depend Forde on all kicking games and. Cordero who has been known well his weakness of tackling and catching in Top 14, so other players must cover him. If Connacht could them whole things, They may win. They need some special performance by Devine who can kick from both foot, read the game very well and good back-up deffender. Good luck.
p.s Iexpect to see scrum by Illo.
Some prison sentence for Coulson. That said the accusations were horrific. It's a shocking thing to rape someone but what he did was sadistic. Can't believe he went on to play for Connacht in the knowledge of what he had done
Agree, Connacht need to have their collar felt about this. Grenoble didn't play him after it happened - who was his contact?
Jesus Christ I just read some of the French reporting on the case. Absolutely shocking what happened to that young woman.
Serious questions need to be asked of what Connacht knew
Just read reports and my god absolutely horrible. Both Connacht and munster (chris farrell) have questions to answer what they knew when signing these players
Bundee in the Aviva enjoying himself
Is the game on premier sports again today? It would be great if florugby had it again on YouTube he quality was very good last week
Edit to add it is on premier sport 1 Ireland
I believe Premier are streaming it but it's not on either of the main channels.
Sean o Brien is so unlucky with injuries very early to be going to the bench.
Hopefully Illo can play on.
Started fairly well bar the lineout jack has had a couple of nice kicks
Lovely try
That was unlucky after stealing the lineout. Seemed to be a bit slow to react to the bounce then
Looks like Smith might have to go off now too. Looked lively and was hoping for a big game for him 1st day back.
Vintage cross field by Jack there. Not sure how Mullins dropped it must have took his eye off it. It was right into his hands
Great stuff from Cordero, exactly what he was signed for.
Good half overall. Look good in attack. Pity Chay couldn't catch that one from the kick but 3 tries a good return
Very positive half, Perpignan don't seem to have much about them so we need to avoid giving them easy access to our 22.
No idea how Cathal Forde is so strong in contact, given he's not a huge man. Needs to tighten up a little on his kicks from hand though.
I think he should be in the Ireland squad as he can play 12 and 13 to a high level and his kicking adds an extra dimension.
It's good for us that's he's not.
A bit blessed there i think.
Very lucky we didn't get a yellow in the last 5 mins but this is a huge win for us
Agree that we were lucky not to get a yellow, but what followed was a great defensive set.
Overall a very positive last two weeks. Our internationals have gotten a good rest and ten points in the bag. Plenty of dry powder for the coming interpros where we should be targeting a win against Ulster.
good win. refereeing didn't allow for any continuity which killed the spectacle. but it's all about the result and Connacht got that. Ralston, Boyle my standouts
Yes, that defence at the end was so encouraging - and the break and subsequent try the icing on the cake.
Super win. Jack deservedly Man of the Match but lots of good performances. Selection for Leinster will be interesting.
Leinster were bad against Clermont. I'd be hoping they don't put their starters out against us. They have Munster the week after so hopefully they rest them.
Bundee signed up for another year. Presumeably if his form holds up we'll be looking at another extention up to the World Cup
Kinda surprised after all the rumours but fair play to him. Delighted to keep him around and he seems very happy in Galway
Great news
