Connacht Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread - Part II

vienne86

Converted. Only five points in it now. Come bloody on connacht!

Robbo

Leader looking for the intercept there and left the space.

I stand corrected on my bloodlust from earlier.

connemara man

How are we struggling against 14 Men

vienne86

Connacht can't keep giving the ball in these conditions.

Robbo

Oh lord, this could go either way.

vienne86

Masterson off.

its_phil

The kick chase game needs to be better

freyners

Craig ya beauty

its_phil

Big mistake by dragons

Robbo

Another stroke of luck with a Dragons player needlessly putting a ball out.

vienne86

Mighty kick to touch for Connacht......and Dragons player touches is! Five meters. Btu screw up and give the ball back to Dragons.

Superhero!

Glass Prison 1214

What a gift!

Inspector Coptoor

Nice!
Get in for the third try and now chase the BP

Diabhal Beag

Hon Mick

vienne86

Charge down.....is that a try for Connacht? Yes! And converted!!!!!!!

Robbo

Bonus still on lads!

Tell you what, that kick to the corner was excellent for that.

mjp

Need try and push for bonus point try n last few mins

matthew8

Leader played very well today, exactly what the doctor ordered in these conditions.

vienne86

Throw the kitchen sink at it now, Connacht....nothing to lose!

Connacht scrum on half way. 90s left.

Come on lads!

freyners

Great choke by george and tom

Robbo

Training ground move off a scrum?

Cooney Man of the Match

vienne86

Cooney MOTM. Deserved.

That's shoddy. No way he should've been allowed dance in to earn the LBP

vienne86

Jazuz.....is that a try for Amos?

Hagz

Knock on it looks like.

I don't think so.

Robbo

Sloppy to give that up at the end.

its_phil

Think that was obstruction myself.

cliftonpat

Lucky to win in the end

vienne86

That was careless by Connacht. Well done on the win though...back up to 6th in the table.

Exactly; you can't just stand there. If he was jogging back to try get onside then you can be a bit more lenient but he just stood there in the way.

Robbo

A lot to work on for Treviso next week.

its_phil

Badly needed win, don't care how ugly it was. Some big carries in the pack

Zzippy

Well we were lucky we were only playing 14 men for most of that, but a good reaction by the team after last week's shambles. 2 more in the next 2 weeks would be very nice...

S12b

Given the atrocious conditions, our handling was phenomenal today.....there was barely a ball dropped in the 80 minutes!! Although it must be said, our ball handling was about the only thing that was excellent today....lots of messy stuff but given how bad the conditions were, we'll take the win and move on. Should have gotten the bonus point but f**k it....job done!

Bazzo

Rough win, doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. Cooney looked very good, and it's reassuring to know that we're not screwed without Marmion.

Ah You looked very very poor in my opinion. I have to say I'm not exactly a huge fan.

Lapin

Score ???

Dragons got a losing BP, with 14 guys for most of the game.

People remarking on the standard of the handling in light of the conditions - have any of you ever been to the west of Ireland?!

I thought Connacht looked as if they were accustomed to these conditions.
