    Game over. Connacht deserve the win, as Leinster do the loss. They have been muck in the second half.

    In fairness though Connacht were not rolling away there.

    Our most dangerous/only dangerous runner on the night Macken was taken off with 25 to go. Good call.

    Sigh, if a game could be summed up in one phase of play

    One awful pass though just after his break

    He was pretty much the central reason we were there, I cannot believe it took this long for him to come on, Reddan was completely knsckered and we were crying out for some impact for about 20 mins before the end

    Awful from Leinster. Only started playing for the last two minutes of the second half. Zero structure in their play. Comes from a poor out half and poor tactics.

    Might sound like sour grapes but I don't think Connacht even played that well. Just had to wait for Leinster to muck things up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    3 from 3 going to Glasgow


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,857 ✭✭✭A-Train


    Leinster were beyond bad, in control and handed Connacht the match. Some shocking calls by the ref against Leinster.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,632 ✭✭✭ssaye2


    Well done connacht I'm done you better back it up and not be a one trick pony


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,131 ✭✭✭Peterx


    Well done Connacht.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,636 ✭✭✭✭Tox56


    Connacht had one try opportunity and took it, Leinster never did, totally deserved and pretty much that whole second half was a complete shambles from a Leinster POV


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,903 ✭✭✭LowOdour


    Don't know what it is...but last year I would have expected them to throw that away but something about the way this Connacht team have been going about things this season Ihave much more confidence in them. Long may it last...fair play lads!

    Reddan is basically incapable of playing over 60 minutes and this has been the case for a season or two. Damning that McGrath wasn't brought on earlier. Clearly not rated at all.

    Winning is a habit, as is winning ugly. I've said before that kind of thing can be fleeting. If we don't sort our sh!t out then those games we were winning ugly last year will be games we'll lose this. I can't begin to describe how disgusted I am with that second half performance. Just not good enough for a side with the talent we had out there.

    Welll done Connacht. You deserved that. A side on the up without question.
