God that was awful. When he's not kicking well ronaldson offers nothing, we got destroyed at the breakdown, and the lineout was shaky again. Looks like we're regressing to the mean.

beaten by a poor Ospreys team, kicking out of hand was terrible and we gave up far too many turnovers, very disappointed with that performance also the lack of adjustment when key parts of our game were obviously not working

Desperate game. Bundee showed some promising signs, and also a couple of scary moments where I thought he'd injured himself badly. Playing for some pride now.

3-3 at half time. Scrappy game, some good defence and good work at the breakdown from Connacht, scrum well on top, lineout was shaky but last couple have been ok.

Ospreys had much the better kicking game for much of the first half, Sam Davies started well but has kicked poorly in the last 10 or 15 minutes. Our kicking has been to be frank diabolical and clueless and is putting needless pressure back on ourselves.

Some good signs when we kept the ball in hand and Aki has shown some decent signs.

Very happy with the workrate but they will wear us down if we keep kicking aimlessly.

Before the game I'd have been happy with a bonus point. At this stage though we are well in the hunt.

An awful half of rugby.

We half kick aimlessly on numerous occasions, but Ospreys have obliged by turning it over almost immediately on getting within 25yds of our line. The few times we have kept the ball, we have made yards. For all their possession and territory, they have not really threatened.

Hey folks. Does anyone have a working stream for this? Wiziwig isn't being kind to me. Has the broadcast started yet?

Nine years ago, wow! Good ol' Rob Dickson, talk about testing the limits of respecting the ref. I've seen teams toss the ball around 3 times with a fake drop out thrown in with nary a side ways look from the ref and this gentleman feels the need to have the game decided by his call. Just remember the total disbelief when he made the call.


Tell me about it, I was in Swansea doing the Red Button Fanzone for BBC2 Wales Scrum V.

Fair to say that I had to bite my lip for the final summation...
Fortunately it was a fair old way from the Media seats to our 22.

But in fairness it is a few years since we have seen anything as shocking as that from a referee against us, thankfully...

The IMF wrote: PP has the spread as +12, I think I like the look of that with Ospreys Welsh contingent missing (which probably means it's too low) but a certain Bundee Aki first try scorer is 18/1 for the pickings, or if you're feeling really optimistic 225/1 for the hat-trick! :whistle:


The bookies are running for cover, i notice odds have been cut on Connacht, it's not often they get it wrong.
