Connacht Team Talk Thread VI - Some like it TOH

Not sure how the Tmo calls a high hit on gus McCarthy but not bundee just before the try

Bubsy seems to get an inordinate amount of our interprovincials. And it’s never good news.

Far too soft in defense

Was sure tector rolling away moved the ball there what is the linesman watching.

Quinlan just mentioned it on premier sports too

Exactly what I was thinking...

Another scrum where we should have a pen right in front on Busby but he resets. So frustrating

More like it lads

Busby always kills us at the scrum. 4 scrum pens against us.

Busby put the whistle to his lips for a penalty in our last attack there then played on. Should it not have been advantage at least if he thought there was an infringement.

Disappointing result to not get a LBP

Ya very poor by him

Even though it's leinster; we need to be beating a team starting 5 academy players 😔

So so poor in the first half. We weren't savvy enough; Gus McCartney rubbed his jaw and loudly said he'd been hit in the face and leinster wouldn't let the play start until it had been checked (wrong call I thought; initial impact on body then rode up). But when Aki and Ioane we head hunted we just complained and played on, neither were checked.

Hope to never see a 12-13 of Aki and Forde again; two of our best players so your instinct is to get your best men on the pitch but it just doesn't work. Looked better offensively and defensively with O'Connor there.

How we were so slow to get up to the physicality of the game is beyond me; 45 mins on the clock before we cowboyed up and started winning impacts.

Disappointing result to get 0 points but there were some positives there; Santi was good when he came on and Hansen is getting back to his best. In the pack they had Boyle well marked but Seamus was brilliant again.

Need a win at the min against Ulster, maybe even a 5 pointer.

Too many strange and unfair judgement against Connacht. On the other hand, growth of Jennings and D.Murray was very impressive. SHL was very good too.

I liked us better when Poc went into 13.

Why are we so poor kicking the ball from hand? It's not like its not something that can be practiced during the week.

Shite reffing did us in the first half. Couldn't leave it.

He's dead right. Not checking those two calls was BS. And freeze framing the one on McCarthy, which yeah was head contact. But so were the other 2. TMO was a joke. But Mack will get a ban and probably dropped from the Ireland squad for calling it out.

When the TMO freezed the image of the non hit he was pushing for a card. I thought for a second he is forcing the ref fir a card and it was going to be a red because if its a head hit its red gull stop. Infairness the ref wasn't having it. Then for Aki's hit, no ref review because it would have resulted in a card and we can't have the new urc star maybe on a red. Honestly I think there wasn't much in the Aki hit but it's not fair just to review the connacht tackles
