Didn’t see any reason given but might have missed it too.

Not clarified rested probably but he did take a high shot from Haley to the head at the end of the Munster game

Missing Carty big time. Different team without him.

its_phil · 24-01-2021 4:24pm

Does the ball not have to go minimum 5m from the line out?

Bazzo · 24-01-2021 4:24pm

Schoolboy stuff there. Almost sure he was tackled into touch though.

testtech05 · 24-01-2021 4:24pm

After a positive first couple of mins we are all over the place since.....

realhorrorshow · 24-01-2021 4:26pm

Very poor start. What worries me is that teams are starting to deliberately target our weaknesses, namely maul defence, protection at the ruck, and narrow defence. Scrum is bailing us out a bit.

Bazzo · 24-01-2021 4:27pm

Be a great finish from Wootton if he's managed it

Bazzo · 24-01-2021 4:29pm

Our ruck protection is a mess, we lose more ball to counter rucking than any other team I watch regularly

its_phil · 24-01-2021 4:31pm

Think this is going to be a case of stay in touch until 50mins and hope Bundee makes the difference.

Back 3 look dangerous for both sides

vienne86 · 24-01-2021 4:34pm

Great try for Wooten this time. Good game for the neutral.

its_phil · 24-01-2021 4:34pm

Jesus how did that happen! Fair play Kieran

Bazzo · 24-01-2021 4:34pm

Very lucky to be in the lead to be honest.

Bundee, blade and big Abe against a tired D could be big

SqueakyKneecap · 24-01-2021 4:35pm

Much better. Great try and smarts for Fitz.

realhorrorshow · 24-01-2021 4:35pm

Wow, out of nothing. Not particularly deserved but I'll take it. Great conversion from Fitzgerald.

ClanofLams · 24-01-2021 4:35pm

Great pressure from Marmion, Connacht’s best player so far.

macslash · 24-01-2021 4:38pm

Was there not crossing for Ospreys there before we turned it over? Pulled us for it earlier

SqueakyKneecap · 24-01-2021 4:38pm

Ospreys are destroying us with their lines

Bazzo · 24-01-2021 4:38pm

Not sure about Frank's breakdown interpretation to be honest, unsure how we were legal there.

realhorrorshow · 24-01-2021 4:39pm

Week after week our discipline kills us, so frustrating.

macslash · 24-01-2021 4:40pm

Very lucky there.

Bazzo · 24-01-2021 4:40pm

Ospreys letting us off again, can't be lucky forever

its_phil · 24-01-2021 4:40pm

Blow it up for halftime Frank...

Utopia Parkway · 24-01-2021 4:41pm

Going to need to get some territory here. Too much rugby being played inside Connacht's half. Ospreys will break through again eventually given enough chances.
