Connacht Team Talk Thread VI - Some like it TOH

kudos to Connacht in the challenge cup but I really, really wanted to go the Racing 92 stadium just to check it out. darn it

Finn Treacy instead of Jennings at 23 is a bit of a surprise, but I guess he has to start somewhere and away in Glasgow where nothing is expected of us is as good a place as any.

Mmmmmm 13 and 15 cause me a bit of concern. Imo Piers is our best 13 and 15. However I think his best position is 13.

If we look at the depth chart for both positions ( I'm probably missing a few)

13. Piers, Royston, Forde Hawkshaw, Gavin. Lots of high end 12's who can do a job but no real specialized 13.

15. Piers, Cordero, Mack, Jennings plus a few of the more wing suited back 3.

I don't think we will sign a better 13 than piers but I think we could get a better 15. Cordero looks more comfortable on the wing and his kicking game isn't what we seem to need at 15 ( my opinion). Perhaps it just feels that way because of our issues at 10.

What are the options out there for 15?

50kmh winds and rain at 3pm in Glasgow. Today's game will not be a classic

game is on premier sports 1

Doesn't look like we're going to create much through structured attack so good to pick up a score like that.

It's meant to be streaming on TG4 player too. But it's not working correctly - it's showing cartoons instead!

I see no reason why we don't go on and get a bonus point win with a bit of sensible play using the wind. up to you JJ

Connacht knocked on twice from maul transfers when 5m from Glasgow's line. Just not good enough.

JJ was always not fantastic but heavens above. Huge disappointment today😟

Connacht need to concentrate on CC and try and win that competition. Their performances in URC seem some way below those in CC to a neutral observer here.

This defeat was due to the selection mistakes. Why Boyle and Devine were not starters? Why Hanrahan and Cordero have been on the pitch so long time? Both players were non-fanctional. Connacht lost the winnable match.

Did you watch Devine's speed and 50-22 kicking from left foot?

either the half time coaching message was missing or didn’t get through or players went off script but why we tried to still bash it up with one up carries rather than kick some territory beats me. Two f**ked up mauls was the icing on the cake. Few people saying last week we should extend Cordero, I think tonight shows why we shouldn’t.That was an opportunity to get a rare win in Glasgow completely wasted, so much possession with so little to show for it.

Delighted for Aungier, his first call up should have come long ago

with last seasons results no playoffs and QF of CC as a benchmark.

worse league position and maybe dare i say bow out once again at QF stage of CC.

at some stage the coaching ticket needs to be looked at.

Wilkins at al never instilled much confidence in me tbh.
