Redo91

Maybe it's my ****ty stream but is it not difficult to tell the teams apart?

Connacht 5- 3 Brive

Euphoriasean

Poor miss from AJ there

Swan Curry

Really poor knock on from McGinty, should have done better

Redo91

Other than the try McGinty is having a bit of a mare!

errlloyd

Bit scrappy. Like my stream. Bad mistakes from connacht backs. Brive 6-5 Connacht

Swan Curry

Connacht don't seem particularly arsed and Brive are the most boring team in the Top 14, don't think I'll last the whole match

wp_rathead

Awful from Porter there to box kick out on full

Zzippy

Playing sh!te...

Redo91

Awful passage from us there. Catalogue of errors.

wp_rathead

Did well from scrum then mess up simple ruck with no one acting scrum half
Rookie mistakes
Now gave away silly penalty in front of post by Muldoon

Iompair

This is pretty horrendous. What was Muldoon thinking?

wp_rathead

TOH out on the full
Worst we've played all season

Diabhal Beag

These sliced kicks are doing my head in.

Zzippy

That's the 2nd Brive lineout that was a yard not straight

Our kicking is rubbish, 2nd or 3rd one out on the full...

wp_rathead

Awful at lineout to not use it

Zzippy

Brive prop never took the pressure there, Rodney slipped with no one to push against. Penalty. Joke...

Zzippy

Shut the **** up Bundee!

errlloyd

These French commentators are class. I only speak a little bit it's so nice to listen to them.

Euphoriasean

That looked like obstruction in the brive 22

I agree he can be a bit too talkative with refs sometimes and it does him no favours but he was fairly clearly obstructed there.

It's getting to be every game at this stage, he's being warned by refs regularly. It's not doing us any favours

Iompair

What was that penalty for?

wp_rathead

Worst 40 mins from Connacht this season considering the side we have out...

Borders no.2

Blessed that this is only 9-5. We've been awful.

KBurke85

Only good thing is we're only behind by 4 at the break. Team needs a big kick in the hole at half time

Euphoriasean

To only be 4 point behind at HT is a miracle considering how many errors we've made.

Diabhal Beag

That one loud French lad behind the boom mics "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH" when they missed the penalty was fantastic. He's been my MOTM so far.

Muldoon played the ball ahead of Rodney (I think) who knocked it on, so he was offside

ClanofLams

We've lost playing fairly well sometimes this season, hopefully the opposite might happen tonight

One of guys knocked on then guy ahead of him played ball = offside

connachta

that's a bad bad game for now

b.gud

I missed it cos of the stream why did McCartney replace JHW? Hope it's not an injury and if it is hope it's not bad he deserves a break from injuries

He was walking off unaided, I'd say it was a head injury assessment

cosalofa

The commentators said that it was for a concussion.

Concussion, according to French commentators..
But I don't know how much you can trust them as they presented us as "a developement province". :mad:

Zzippy

That's better AJ!

Borders no.2

Please take Porter off

Swan Curry

Another kick out on the full, christ almighty

ClanofLams

Awful box kick there from Porter

KBurke85

FFS Porter

Zzippy

Get Blade on. Didn't he score a couple of tries in France before?

Borders no.2

That call for the scrum penalty was a joke. Neither were driving straight.

Zzippy

Clear shoulder charge, no arms in that tackle

wp_rathead

Much better from Connacht!
Gets Blade on ta feck though

KBurke85

Yes!!! Mul

Swan Curry

Brilliant try, they needed to get something out of that

ClanofLams

Boom! Some great play from McGinty in the lead up

Borders no.2

Much much better. Good try. We don't have to do anything spectacular to win this game. Get the basics right and we should be fine.

Euphoriasean

Great passage of play - deserves the try
