The ref has a serious set of guns...

Dragons tearing our defence apart and got a try

Where was this Connacht team last week? They are playing with confidence and the scrum is really good, much better.

According to Rob the TMO recommended a yellow but referee went with linesman who thought it deserved red.

Yeah sounded like the ref was questioning the decision and then the linesman piped up and they had another look. Does it even need to be questioned if the welsh tmo was being soft on the home team?

It was the ref that initially said yellow and someone, i assume it was the Linesman, said 'are you happy with yellow?'

Well taken try. Their seven has been subbed, have they brought on a lock? That should help us if anything if they have, even less chance of turnovers for dragons.

great thinking and strength to spin out of being tackled by 4 guys to get the ball down.

connacht look to be in a good position to redeem themselves from last weeks performance

TRY for Masterson converted by Carty 17-3.
Keep it going lads.

Try Masterson- excellent finish, and he more than deserved it after a brilliant run from the lineout.

BP win on here if we keeps our heads on

As far as i can tell there is little to no wind blowing, so no excuse for Carty missing that penalty.

Great work for the second try. Great Finish

Landman off- red for a quite frankly filthy and ridiculous elbow to the head of Carty after he had kicked it.

65 mins is a long time for 14 men. I can not fathom what he was doing though........dumbest red I've seen in ages.......he was running towards him them lifted his elbow right into Carty's head

Red Card No5 - this changes everything.
Considering how the Dragons started, a win, with a bonus point is now possible.

Red card for Landman, late hit on Carty.
Come on Connacht!!
