Connacht Team Talk Thread VI - Some like it TOH

Utopia Parkway

Do Connacht practice restarts?

FrancieBrady

why can’t they sort out the restarts. Aeful

testtech05

Lost the kick off again. Unforgivable how often we do it

SqueakyKneecap

There's not one lad involved in this coaching ticket that deserves to be a full-time coach. Not a single one.

Utopia Parkway

The restart problem has constantly put Connacht in bad positions this season. They score and immediately they gift possession and great field position to the opposition.

StevenToast

Jesus...if Connacht lose this, heads should roll....

MayoForSam

Blade over eager, another mistake.

Clegg

Serious injury to Hanrahan.

Utopia Parkway

Should have had this game wrapped up but now they are hanging on.

Looks like a serious injury for JJ. He’s on the gas.

testtech05

JJ puffing on the gas doesn't sound good.... He was bumped off the ball and injured his knee I'd say

SqueakyKneecap

Poor JJ. That looks very bad.

testtech05

Should that not be a penalty for taking him off the ball.

Hopefully the injury isn't as bad as it seems for JJ

Edit. They have given it now

Utopia Parkway

Dragons player definitely knew what he was doing there. He wanted to block off JJ. The injury seems a bit freakish though. Was just a dunt but he must have had his foot planted and his knee went.

Ah yeah it was a professional foul but the injury is just a freak accident, that sort of contact happens dozens of times in every game. Fingers crossed for JJ, looked nasty.

SqueakyKneecap

That's a **** shoulder to the head anyways. They can't ignore this one.

Clegg

That's a red surely?

Former Former Former

I dunno, the Dragons guy is completely static, I’d say yellow

SqueakyKneecap

Good try. Hope to feck the watch this restart now. Nowhere near game over yet.

CMcsporty

brilliant rip from Langton at the maul

Blackheath

my wife reckons Wilkins looks like a lad you would see on the street looking for spare change. She is asking what’s with the hood up.

His bald head is cold.

StevenToast

Dragons poor discipline has saved Connacht.

CMcsporty

Joe Joyce battled hard from start to finish

FrancieBrady

eeked it out but did their best to give it away

SqueakyKneecap

That doesn't feel like a win at all despite the TBP win. If Prendergast and JJ are out we're toast.

Genuinely don't think we've missed so many tackles since about 2014. Conceding trys with an extra man and the constant fumbled restarts drive me insane.

testtech05

We were so poor for a lot of that game again. Thought Boyle did well when came in for Prendergast and Joyce was very good too

Borders no.2

That was painful. At 19-7 to the untrained eye you'd have thought it was looking like a comfortable evening for us but as Connacht fans you just knew they'd leave us sweating until the end.

Job done for tonight but its still a long shot to make the play offs especially with leinster and Munster needing points for their seeding.

Zeugnis

That was excruciating. Connacht are not a Champion's Cup team, there's a lot of work to be done. If Carty's not ready for Munster, we'll be getting a look at Forde at 10.

Devine was excellent, Jennings good as well.

Hope JJ's injury isn't as bad as it looked.

Utopia Parkway

Actually hard to believe that Connacht are up to 6th now. Tough end to the season though with Munster, Stormers and Leinster to come. They’ll probably have to win 2 of those games. Doesn’t help that Leinster basically chucked the 2 games in South Africa as they might need something from that final game now.
