Just watched Faloon's try again. Great scrum, then 8 recycles and Faloon scores on 9th phase. Remorselessly executed, hope it's a sign of things to come.

Great win but neither of those touch judges should be allowed anywhere near a game of rugby again how they missed the spear tackle is beyond me and what happened over the other side when we got a penalty and then it was taken away? Referee did OK but he was badly let down by his assistants especially the guy near the clan stand.

Wille Faloon and Danie Poolman...

That is all.....

That'll do, pig. That'll do.

Great build up to that try, Muldoon and Poolman did very well, a great line at the end as well

10-7 to Connacht

How did he award that? Unclear from all angles bar one, and cant make out where the line is in that one

As I said in the article I think that Connacht need to play smart in terms of the ref. We lost last week despite scoring 2 tries to their 1, and that was due to penalties. Other point (I agree with others on this thread), we need to put some pace on the game.

6-17 defeat in this fixture last season and it was during the November internationals with a similar Ospreys squad and during our 14 match run of close calls and that game was one of the worst ones in the 14 match run.
We are given away too many penalties at the break down We need out forwards to carry the ball around the ruck's
A good example of winning rugby are Quins They let their forwards make ground get the penalties and in the 20 minutes around Half-time they up the pace and try to kill off the game, they did it to us twice this year and in our first HCup game in the stoop

We have to set the tempo tonight

For those of us outside Ireland, hopefully someone streams the match..

Won't make it in to the game, but it's on TG4 so hopefully I'll see some of it. Hopeful but not expectant.

+1

So many home games are on Friday night for the rest of the season. Going to struggle to make any of them
