Connacht Team Talk Thread VI - Some like it TOH

Poor defence on the short side there after decent initial stop of the maul.

Saw a stat before kickoff Connacht have conceeded 47% of their tries from 1st phase. Seems crazy high

Some very poor unforced errors in the first 15 minutes. Needlessly putting ourselves under pressure.

Not gonna get away with them like we did last week either.

Not looking great this. Bulls doing whatever they like really. Not an easy place to play but we look like we are happy enough with the one win over there.

Could see the bench being emptied early looking ahead to the Leinster game.

That actually looked like Ralston had never kicked a ball before, or ever seen anyone kick a ball

Tommybojangles · 25-11-2023 4:35pm

Honestly this probably isn't much worse than last week, just playing a competent team

Utopia Parkway · 25-11-2023 4:40pm

All came from yet another poor restart leading to a poor kick from Forde that gave the Bulls good territory and possession.

Restarts again, terrible from connacht. Giving away massive field position ever time

Tommybojangles · 25-11-2023 4:41pm

The snooker is on BBC1

SqueakyKneecap · 25-11-2023 4:42pm

Please let it stand

SqueakyKneecap · 25-11-2023 4:43pm

Brilliant composure from Killgallen

testtech05 · 25-11-2023 4:43pm

Lovely try and a great conversion

Utopia Parkway · 25-11-2023 4:44pm

Great try.

Restarts are killing us this season. Reminds me of our maul defence the season before last. A constant problem.

SqueakyKneecap · 25-11-2023 4:44pm

Carty kicks that brilliantly with the sun blinding him from the touchline. Sums him up perfectly.

Utopia Parkway · 25-11-2023 4:46pm

Could concede 60 here very easily.

testtech05 · 25-11-2023 4:47pm

Another poor one i thought was forward pass by le roux earlier in the move but the tries we are conceeding are so soft.

Tommybojangles · 25-11-2023 4:48pm

Jesus 32 at half time is embarrassing

macslash · 25-11-2023 4:49pm

Kick in the guts there

SqueakyKneecap · 25-11-2023 4:49pm

This will only get uglier in the second half with the altitude and heat. Be lucky to keep it to just the 50 conceded.

Truth said that was a really smart kick by Jack and it was millimetres from being a brilliant kick. So I have no objection to that attempt at all. But do you see our opposition simply kicking posession away right down the middle. Now this is Jack's real forte. And that is what is so soul destroying. Had always thought this game was going to be a hard ask

Utopia Parkway · 25-11-2023 5:05pm

So passive in defence today. It's like they got their win last week and are mentally on the plane home already.

SqueakyKneecap · 25-11-2023 5:10pm

Good try. Hopefully can get another couple now and it'd be something out of today.

testtech05 · 25-11-2023 5:12pm

That yellow was very harsh I thought

testtech05 · 25-11-2023 5:16pm

Unlucky bounce

Tommybojangles · 25-11-2023 5:19pm

Jesus Jack. We got the balk twice in the sim bin period and just booted it aimlessly both times

Tommybojangles · 25-11-2023 5:19pm

3 times

testtech05 · 25-11-2023 5:21pm

Oliver a little unlucky there maybe didn't have much choice but to catch the ball

sydthebeat · 25-11-2023 5:22pm

If things weren't bad enough, moodie comes on

testtech05 · 25-11-2023 5:30pm

Reilly had to stay on the outside man there he had cover on his inside

macslash · 25-11-2023 5:33pm

Bulls are a serious outfit at home. And we're just making mad mistakes today.
