Connacht Team Talk Thread VI - Some like it TOH

FACECUTTR

Finished without another score and Cardiff get 0 points.

Borders no.2

Massive opportunity now. Brives redult means Newcastle have nothing to play for which i guess is a double edged sword.

Minimum needed is a win to get us 2nd seed but a bonus point win gives us a clear home path all the way.

Hopefully we can take this chance.

What channel is the game on?

Borders no.2

Inside opening 10 minutes and Connacht already giving newcastle the impetus with needless penalties.

BrokenMan

5 penalties in 8 minutes not a great start

Shehal

Connacht really have collection of these performances where you question did they only meet in the parking ground before the game, when Connacht are bad they are BAAAAAAD!

testtech05

Just turned on but things not looking good based off the scorelines alone

testtech05

Two kicks out on the full 1 after another......

Shehal

Good man yourself Adam Byrne, dont forget to kick the ball out on the full and help contribute to this complete and utter **** show so far!

Borders no.2

This is a shameful display. Even allowing for unexpected results why go so strong against Brive A and then leave key players at home for what was always going to be a tough game. We'll be away in last 16 at this rate.

testtech05

Jesus this is pathetic....

SqueakyKneecap

A typical Connacht in England performance

Shehal

Can someone remind me who's playing for top spot in this pool and who's got nothing to play for? Based on this performance you'd swear Connacht were the latter. Connacht have their fair share of shameful display's but this is up there.

Shehal

Connacht have been utterly shocking but my god this is a mother and father of a home town ref...

Borders no.2

All the penalties and access Newcastle have had has been of Connachts own making.

If we can make Newcastle work there might be something in this game but need some control

SqueakyKneecap

Much better

Borders no.2

Half way to the bonus point 😄

Shehal

This is very Connacht.

By that I mean play shite for 20 minutes, get back into it and when you get back in touching distance than go back to being headless chickens again.

Either pay EPCR TV, match pass is €5, or else listen on GB FM

Newcastle doing well to hold the ball Connacht look dangerous but just starved

The tv commentator on the game is appalling.

If he calls Connacht connect once more I'm gonna throw something at the tv

Borders no.2

Such a frustrating try to give away. Mountain to climb again

testtech05

Got back in the game another soft try conceeded

realhorrorshow

Anyone ever seen a tighthead score a hat trick before?

Shehal

And ofcourse now that they are back in the game they go back to not being able to do anything right again. Its a serious talent to be this good at switching on and off al the time and at the exact right/wrong times.

Shehal

Do Connacht even want to win this game? They play relatively well until they get within touching distance and then its keystone cops stuff the second they get within 1 score...

BrokenMan

No way that was forward.

Shehal

Connacht score but ofcourse in Connacht fashion is disallowed due to a forward pass.

I do think in the end its not the worst thing in the world that Andy Friend is moving on at the end of the season, these up and down performances are just far too common and it's quite clear nothing is being done to rectify it.

Borders no.2

In big danger of messing up home last 16 now

Do you ever have anything positive to say.

Borders no.2

Clear forward pass for Newcastle try but we deserve nothing
