Connacht Team Talk Thread VI - Some like it TOH

Bolton injured? Can't see why he'd be left out otherwise

PS: Any top 14 experts want to comment on how strong a Racing team that is?

Didn't think racing were going to go full noise.....I was wrong. That's a very very strong team. Outside of Fickou and maybe Diajimani that looks as strong as they can go.

Huge effort required by Connacht tomorrow evening!!

Racing have serious bulk & power. Josh Tuisova is a Fijian wrecking ball, Bundee is going to have his hands full. Junior Kpoku at 7 is Englands next Itoje, 19 years old 6’8 120kg to mention a couple.

Not sure if that makes me feel better or more worried about tomorrow

Racing are well down the table in the Top 14 but their form has actually picked up lately. Think they've won 4 of their last 5.

So far the bookies are looking pretty smart 🤞🤞

Don't think that's a bad result for Munster tbh- we've played that Bordeaux team, when they cut loose stopping them is near impossible. They made a game of it even if Bordeaux never really looked under threat.

This game is bonkers summing up our season. Racing maul is destroying us.

Ioane and Tracy both gone is a big loss too and Ioane looks long term

This is a tough watch. Once Racing got to the pitch of the game we've been completely and utterly outmatched. A masterclass in 14 man rugby to be fair.

We were winning 21-5 and they hot a red card ffs now 43-28. My God it's a **** show, connacht are just like nice little show ponies

While I agree with the point and we are always brutal against 14 men for reasons I can't fathom I think tonight the injuries in the backline haven't helped. Ioane in at FB for Treacy off on the wing then off injured aswell. Gavin goes on the wing and had to go off at half time too.

The backline had looked very exciting but completely disjointed in the 2nd half. Hansen looks like he's been playing the 2nd half injured too se me to be carrying 1 leg

It must be said though they have so much power up front too.....

That was blatant as you are going to see

Yeah, Racing played textbook 14 man rugby and were almost perfect between the red and the Farrell yellow. The extra man doesn't matter when the ball doesn't go further than 5 metres from the ruck.

losing that game was painful enough without having to listen to that **** Robson on commentary.

Cant blame wilkins anymore.....hes been off for over a month now....all coaches on the chopping block...

They had a real chance of getting to a final and possible silverware and have pißsed it all away....

Mickey mouse group - guaranteeing home draws all the way to the final....handed to them on a plate and they bottled it....
