Jaysus lads

Balls and still down a man

Robbo

At least another 5 to go on this sinbin.

Jesus, Mandingo-Klein's kicking is wretched this evening.

connemara man

And that's a response!

b.gud

Get in Bundee

Crimsonforce

Hahaha bundee's bday

Zzippy

Waltzed in. Reminiscent of TOH's try against Munster!

calico77

are we seeing marmions decision making here that keeps him off the irish squad? just inside his own 22 and he passes 20 yards back and embra score from the lineout and multi phase.

coolhandspan

I was thinking that myself, even the fact the pass from the Rick came from Denis

oneofakind32

Far too easy for Bundi. Like I said earlier, clowns!

vienne86

That looked too easy!

Crimsonforce

I love how block is blocalta in Irish

Bazzo

Really impressed by the half backs, one or two mistakes aside Marmion and MacGinty are having a great game.

Zzippy

Bundee tries that offside pick up a fair bit, I've yet to see it work out for him!

vienne86

In fairness, that was well worked by Embra.

At least once every game, he usually gets told to jog on by the ref and leaves it but I dunno why he bothers trying.

its terrible from connacht though in a way, they had multiple chances to get out of their 22 but they try to run everything. Its not difficult to see why they concede so many points

Zzippy

Tackler never released there, went straight for the jackal without any separation.

Diabhal Beag

Aly on the ground there

In fairness he rarely gets pinged and it cab slow things down a bit so why not try it

coolhandspan

A ruck near the posts had one of the most blatant of feet side entries I've seen and it was let go

That said Whitehouse is having a decent match

Would be nice if AJ could find touch though.

Zzippy

WTF ref? Their front row all popped up in that scrum and he lets play go on. No reward for dominating the scrum, awful decision

vienne86

What a waste of a good scrum from Connacht.....trying to be too smart.

Take that back after the Scrum that lead to that

In fairness that should have been a penalty against Edinburgh. Front row all popped up under the pressure and they wheeled it going backwards

Utopia Parkway

From 21-5 up to 21-17

Momentum with Edinburgh now. Connacht could do with the next score.

vienne86

Poor missed tackle by Healy leading to that try.

As many games this season.. Throwing this away now. Should have been finished at HT. Don't think they got into the 22 once in the first half.

vienne86

Connacht look tired.......ah, so unlike Healy to miss that catch.

Crimsonforce

Really terrible defense. Everytime they spread the play, they have scored...

Trips to 22 in first half 0
Trips to 22 second half 3 tries

Redo91

Handing them their scores. So frustrating.

Edinburgh were in our 22 a couple of times in the first half. Were you not watching?

Zzippy

FFS, now he gives a scrum penalty???

vienne86

Rodney off again?????

Good luck Ulster.....

macslash

What was that pen for?

Utopia Parkway

Didn't see what was wrong with what Muldoon did there. He was supporting his own weight.

Unless there was something else?

Wtf is going on with him
He near gave up in the last scrum. No fight in him

Zzippy

Need to score soon or we're going to lose this

vienne86

Embra have the momentum now. Connacht really need to concentrate.

Utopia Parkway

Great break by TOH. Need to finish it off now.

Zzippy

Looked over but ref refuses to check TMO :rolleyes:

macslash

Balls Ronaldson doesn't look great

vienne86

Ach Ronaldson off. Pheck.

ionadnapokot

Toh with great break there. Nice work from mcginty Gettin his hands through the tackle for the offload

Utopia Parkway

Ronaldson limping off now.
