Connacht Team Talk Thread VI - Some like it TOH

There is some buzz in here.

The place will erupt when Connacht get the bonus point.

Bundee walked out like a man looking for a fight.....that's a good sign!

watching in from abroad. Happy bunny.

Got a bit lucky with the red (can see why it was given but think it's very harsh) but apart from that totally on top and score not at all unfair.

Prendergast has been unreal in everything; tackling, carrying, lineout and even the way he's managed the ref, absolutely outstanding stuff.

Get the next try early and secure the five match points. Munster seem more intent on shouting and complaining to the ref rather that putting that effort into play.

Predergast feet are class tonight, like a center

Cian definitely man of the match in my book, Jansen also very good but another brilliant captain’s performance.

Brilliant Stuff lads, absolutely brilliant.

I thought Ioane played well, distributed well whereas usually he can overplay the ball. West and Aki seem to have a good partnership. I thought we stagnated a bit in the 2nd half, Devine should have been brought on earlier as his introduction added a bit more zip to our play

That was my take as well. As the second half continued I was finding it hard to see where the bonus point try was going to come from. When Casey scored the try for Munster I was actually happy because I figured that could be the kick up the arse that Connacht needed. And so it happened.

I thought it was worrying that Connacht struggled to finish off the game with the try bonus point and I know there are going to a lot of nerves in Scotland next Friday. But that's not a bad thing. If everything works out next Friday Connacht have nothing to lose in the playoffs. That should allow them to play with huge freedom while others fret.

Ultimately Friday is huge for Connacht but even if we are trounced (which is unlikely) it has been probably the most positive season we have had in 10 years.

So many positive things at Connacht these days. Billy Bohan is playing out of his skin. Sam Illo is doing great on the opposite side. Heff is invigorated in what he sees on either side of him. Second row is light for next season but they are not shabby. Back row is outstanding and probably the best back row in the league.

Scrum halves of Devine and Murphy are really good. Out halves is interesting. I found the selection of Carty over Naughton on the bench this weekend a bit puzzling. Is Sean really not showing the promise that we all think he is.

Bundee is rejuvenated and Harry West and John Devine are brilliant at outside centre.

And then you have Bolton. Jennings, Treacy and Gilbert.

How good is this.

There is not another Irish province that does not fear the men from the West today.

And yes this is the same ElisaAtWar who has critized and hounded this team for the past decade

Thought our locks completely out played Edogbo and Wycherly yesterday. Thought Josh had a really good game. Add in that there was only one international 6 on show and he wasn't wearing red.
