    Should that not be a card for the Edinburgh player trying to take butlers head home?

    Going to be hard to even take a losing BP home with the scrum being pinged off the park. Means no possession and no territory.

    Davies being a bit harsh on us imo. Still think the scoreline is fair as we've had one 2 minute spell in their half and they've been parked in our 22 and had about 200 scrums.

    This is hard to watch.

    Can't even get out of our half or hold the ball for any amount of time.

    Very hard to see a turnaround based on that half.

    He even seen it and told him to get off but alas no penalty.

    Edinburgh are smart. Nearly every time they win a turnover on the deck there’s a man off his feet subtly interfering with the clear out. Clever play that you’d expect from a hard nosed forward oriented team.

    Nel is killing us at the scrum

    Honestly this feels like we mucked up on selection. Nel is known for being a strong scrumming prop and weve left our best lh at home. No word on any injury so far so whats the logic in fielding a green lh and a reserve that has stablised things a bit but had a difficult last outting

    Minor rib injury apparently.

    That missed tackle from Matt Healy that immediately preceded the Butler yellow was very costly.

    Some Like It TOH
    Lucky to be only 10 down really with the way the half played out. Need to get some possession and see can we get our own game going.

    Having said that I think Davies/his linesmen are being a bit harsh on us with some of the calls. Conans last one for a case in point did him for pulling the lifter out of lineout after he had barely touched him. Was a shame that was his last act but he was having a tough time against the experience of Nell. Hopefully will learn from it.

    Boyle has been a positive again for us the lineout steal and break he made. Didn't realise he had such gas

    Too much lateral running. All Edinburgh are having to do is drift. Need hard running lines and options off the shoulders

    Hard to see a comeback with the amount of tackles we've had to make to far.

    That Van der Merve lad bottled that try. Let us off the hook bigtime.

    Plenty to complain about but given how Edinburgh have thrown themselves into this game I'm actually quite impressed with Connacht so far. Game still in the balance despite a huge body of work from Edinburgh, a Connacht win here would be exceptional.

    When he's being dragged along the ground?

    Open play, no offside line.
