Carty would break your heart

Clegg

All gone wrong in the last ten minutes.

cson

Ah man we've lost the heads.

We're gonna get absolutely hosed.

Edit: Another missed tackle from Jack on the reply.

Podge_irl

Ridiculously easy, but you can trace that back to Carty's second missed penalty to touch. Criminal stuff.

Euphoriasean

and then compounds it with the missed tackle.

I'm afraid Jack has killed them here. Can't make the basic errors he's making. Got away with it last week.

Shehal

Connacht just being Connacht again sadly.

Dave_The_Sheep

Criminal tackling from Connacht, and criminal missed touch from Carty to start it all off.

It's real basic stuff too. Like we're not asking him to be Dan Carter reincarnate.

To be completely fair, I think it's more accurate to say that it's Carty being Carty.

That's twice now bealham has hit the ball at pace and been monstered back. They are so physical.....

Strand1970

Jesus Carty is desperate, I would take him off and put anyone on from the bench. A prop would be a better 10 at the moment

cson

Surely we've get an outhalf in the country that would be better than Jack? Harry Byrne?

SqueakyKneecap

We're being absolutely battered in contact. Was always going to happen but it's a lot sooner than you'd have wanted.

SqueakyKneecap

Great work from Farrell after a very poor half from him. Needed that badly.

cson

That's important.

There's still a chance now.

Regroup at HT, we're only 8 down and we've been horrendous. Well, Jack Carty has been horrendous.

Euphoriasean

needed that badly,now in and reset.

SqueakyKneecap

Oh my **** God

testtech05

Great try!!

Lovely delayed ball to Farrell in midfield, I think it was by carty.

What the hell happened there the ball fell off the tee with the wind after he started run up was it the ref said?

cson

Oh ffs.

Clegg

That's unfortunate for Connacht to not get the extra two points

Shehal

Lol only Connacht.

Would it not be better to have a lad holding it. The stormers do.

Euphoriasean

I sorry Jack your a professional and know it's windy, get someone to hold the bloody ball.

Utopia Parkway

Looks like Carty just took his first step and then the ball fell over.

kuang1

Interesting that stormers had a spotter holding the ball for each placed kick they had in that half.

You'd think of all teams, the team that plays their home games in Galway bay would know what a strong wind can do to a rugby ball.

Edit: blame has to lie with Carty though for not requesting a spotter.

testtech05

Anyone catch which direction the wind is going? It seems quite strong but not sure who it was in favour of if anyone....

Connacht twitter says we have the wind 2nd half. It would explain the monster kick from the 22 from the stormers player that lead to a try.

I thought that kick was fine. We were going nowhere, he found grass and stressed their backfield. Problem was the kick chase, which was then compounded by O'Halloran not putting his clearance into the stand.

Joma4good

Carty cancels everything he does well, with an equal or worse mistake. How T.O’H was rewarded with an extension beats me, just not physical or fast enough for URC level rugby. Carty needs replacing permanently, I think he’s at the point of undermining a decent season next year. Hope I have to eat my words on today but can’t see this being anything other than a solid beating
