    Great marshalling of the defence there by Daly pushed Wooton out and took care of LeeLo

    That was not a penalty to Connacht for sure

    Even by the standards of huge Polynesian backrows Papalii is a beast. One of the most powerful carriers I've ever seen.

    Bundee going 80. Not good for his chances in Rome which means he might be with us in Treviso

    Bundee is rusty enough to be fair. Grew into that game as he went on.

    Daly our best player this season.

    Big papa always looks either wrecked or laid back to the point of horizontal. But Jesus the power

    And to think he doesn’t even know what the sports ground is like on a winning night, he’ll be a fan’s favorite thecway he’s going

    Just out of interest. Would Cardiff stay overnight in galway and head home tomorrow or head back tonight? I presume bus to Dublin Airport?

    Connacht for the opposite match did a charter back and bus from dublin. Not a clue what cardiff are doing. Games were at the same time

    As far as I know all of Connacht away games this season have been a same day operation. Fly out early that morning and back that night

    Bonus point win. Two great tries from Wooten and at the same time his defense bleeds badly. And when you get up against the tier1 teams he would not be my choice. He is good enough for games like tonight but I have difficulties seeing him progressing to the big league games

    As much as everyone tonight saw the defensive weaknesses I pointed, I wouldn't think this.
    Stuff to work on, but his offensive potential (a great one!) is in the balance too.


    The only uncontestable back-3 is John Porch. Was again magnificent on this game.

    I dare say : best signing since Bundee
