    Carty saved us bigtime there

    Breakdown is a disaster. It’s like we are not bothering to put any numbers into the rucks. Constantly turned over.

    The only decent play so far is the defensive effort when Embra get into the 22. Can't fault them for last ditch tackling but we've no real coherence or accuracy when offloading with ball in hand.

    Great work there from Daly. Hopefully we kick on now.

    TOH must've made made 2 try savers so far. He's been fantastic. I'd have taken 7-3 down at HT if you offered it pre-match.

    Defensively solid bar the try which SOB looked completely at sea for.

    You’d take being only 4 points down at the break as Connacht have played very little rugby in the right areas so far.

    7-3 at half time. could be worse for Connacht. Crazy handling errors, Whitehouse allowing Edinburgh off their feet at the breakdown...

    Connacht slipping all over the shop on that surface. I wonder what sort of studs/spikes they have on.

    Porch will be a loss. Presume TOH to 14 and Carty to 15 so Hawkshaw goes 10? I suppose Daly played 10 against Edinburgh in our last away win again these too.

    That looked like pure cowardice from Kinghorn, jumped into porch who only had eyes for the ball.

    Doesn’t look good for Porch. Carted off. Only back from injury as well.

    Not great with Cordero already out for the season. Bit thin in the back three.

    Came down awkward from a high ball, knee didn't look great. Was taking on gas and didn't look happy.

    That’s what will happen if you don’t tackle.

    Carty and Daly could've done a bit better there. I know it's Van der Merve and all but that was avoidable.

    We're dealing with Edinburgh's phase play quite comfortably but have looked at sea on turnover ball/kick return.

    Don’t know the official stats but it always feels like we concede a lot of long distance tries compared to most sides.

    Think that might have been a high shot on Aungier as well. He’s bleeding.

    Not sure there is mitigation there. Didn’t think Aungier is tackled into Schoeman there? Could do with seeing it again.

    I've seen reds for a lot less than that when it comes to head to head contact tbh.

    That's olivers try- prendergast is about to be tackled over the line and Oliver keeps him in.

    Much better all around.

    Ah Jack. Can’t be missing that one.

    Must be TOH’s best game in quite a while.
