Quins 7 Connacht

Watching the U20s

Not seen a worse cameo off the bench from a rugby player as bad as Sean naughtans in a long time, bloody useless

standard connacht mediocrity mindset

Jj Hanrahan signed to Munster for 2 seasons.

I have a feeling that both JJ and Jack are very decent back up 10's with plenty left in the tank.

I also think that JJ was the best of our 10's at implementing the coaches game plan which is probably why I disliked when he was selected so much.

Best of luck and thanks for your efforts.

I agree with you but the way Jack has been non selected for most of this season even though he's done well any time he has played would lead me to think he might not be interested in another year with the same setup who don't seem to fancy him for whatever reason.

I agree with this. While his goal kicking certainly was a welcome addition his line kicking was poor and he doesn't offer much of a threat at all in open play anymore

As much as I hate to see constant chopping and changing, any change at the top is good imo, as the current coaching ticket has sent out some of the most unprepared teams I can remember ( To my eye). I'm all for leaving coaches in palce but you need to see SOMETHING to make you feel like there's progress being made.

I did enjoy having JJ on board to maek his kicks but I won't be losing too much sleep over it. Similar to Kilgallen and Tom Farrell Its not a gret sign of Munster that they seem to consitently pick up player who are in and out of our team

Don't think he's worth the risk with his injury profile to be honest

Treviso is very strong.They won against Ulster (34-19). In this game, no Italy representataive in the team. Treviso starters: 15~9 Smith, Mendy, Fekitoa(ex Munster), Zannon, Gallagher, Albonoz, Uren, 1~8 Gallo, Male, Zilocochi, Marini, Snyman, Izokor, Zuriani, Henofihi .

Some players are foreigners. At second half, Ulster received 3 yellow card, and it caused directly their defeat. Even so, Treviso was strong enough. In the Second half, Ulster received 3 yellow cards (including very unlucky one). Directly it's their cause of defeat. But even so, Treviso was strong enough for current Connacht. I think that especilly t6, 10, 15 are strong and skillful. Connacht needs huge defending efforts at open plays.
