Connacht Rugby Thread - Part III - The Violence of the Lams

vienne86

Another score while the guys are in the bin would be good now. Scarlets still look dangerous with ball in hand.

its_phil

If a ball spills out a ruck, you can bet your last euro Masterson will jump on it.

Discipline needed and denying Scarlets the BP

errlloyd

Bit of support for carty and that could have been delish.

Bazzo

Nice break from Carty there, too bad there was nobody supporting so he had to kick it.

vienne86

Connacht still pedantic when they pass along the line.....predictable. I would worry about the Scarlets reading it and intercepting.

aimee1

thats some scrum

Bazzo

Going for the corner there? Seemed kickable. The TBP must be on the mind. Great return from the maul so far so hopefully it comes off.

vienne86

Rodney! BP already!

17 minutes on the clock, well in control and need only one more try. Time to go for the jugular.

Bazzo

YESSSS great strength from Ah You and lovely dummy from McCartney . Try bonus point in the bag!!!!

Buer

If Ulster are wondering who to pop the ball to next season 5m from the opposition line after Williams leaves, they may have just seen their answer....

freyners

Rodney!!!!

vienne86

30-10. Hard to see Scarlets coming back from this.

OldRio

Wonderful display by the forwards.

Inspector Coptoor

Would be top of the table for a while if the score line stays like this.

Savage display.

errlloyd

Tiernan, shame he didn't go outside.

Someone get a GIF ready of that Buckley out the backdoor pass.

Wprathead I'm looking at you

This is going to leave the Scarlets with 1 win from their last 8. Their season is in complete free fall; would expect them to fall out of ECC qualification at this rate.

freyners

Rodney preparing for ulster with the beard.

Diabhal Beag

It would've been such a Connacht thing to do to let the head drops after the VdM try but they've toasted Scarlets. Hopefully can get another try on the board (selfish).

Their indiscipline has killed them in this game......and others too.

vienne86

Just a knock on. Sky commentators calling for a yellow!

errlloyd

This is great news for all the Irish provinces.

Yeah looked totally accidental in the tackle to me, they seem sure it was intentional!

vienne86

Connacht need to concentrate here. Don't give them a chance. And don't get a card for heaven's sake.

freyners

I actually agree. Toh knew well what he was doing there. Played it beautifully

hogandrew

Big kick here

vienne86

That try was coming. Out wide, so difficult conversion. Not over yet though.

Buer

Muldoon was in the bin there if they didn't score they try.

errlloyd

Criminal truck and trailer.

vienne86

That was a great kick, in fairness.

Come on Connacht - keep them out.

aimee1

connacht need to just keep shape here

Buer

Connacht gone to sleep in the last 10 minutes. Need to be very sensible and just slow the game right down now. Scarlets will thrive if the ball is being flung around.

vienne86

Denis Buckley MOTM - well deserved. He had a grea game.

vienne86

That was stupid to pass that forward. Another chance for Scarlets.

Buer

Didn't look forward to me at all.

With that said, why are Connacht looking to push it wide early in their own half with 3 minutes on the clock?! Absolute opposite of what they should be doing.

vienne86

Aki might have single-handedly saved Connacht conceding the LBP there. Great tackle.

Bazzo

Aki puts in a monster hit at the perfect time. Buckley very well deserved man of the match.

Diabhal Beag

There'll be a road named after Bundee yet

vienne86

Dangerous here ......come on Connacht!

Buer

Jesus Christ. Pick and go. What's wrong with that?

vienne86

Bloody card!

vienne86

Phew! In touch. TG! Well done Connacht!

LuckyGent88

Great defence in the end.

Massive result

Bazzo

Closed out leaving them nothing, brilliant!

Buer

Thank f*ck. Complete lack of leadership in the last 15 minutes but superb opening hour for a deserved BP win.

vienne86

Henshaw stayed on for the full 80 I think - thought he'd be pulled at 60.

its_phil

As nervous as I was at the end of Brive, Scarlets away games. That was brilliant. We're a different team at home.

Also, Denis Buckley is in the conversation for most in-form LH this season.

Billysays no

Billlysays yesssssssss
