Connacht 2022/23

[Ruckedtobits]

Going well against Brive, in Brive.
Looks like Brive are down to 14 men.

They are and it's Papali'i who got the red. Quelle surprise!

That's his fourth Red for Connacht! The first one of any use.

Like the look of Illo now. He seems to have slimmed down and is doing more around the pitch. Connacht mixed the good with the bad last night but came away with a win which is the important thing.

Thornbury got a bad knee injury last night seemingly. A massive shame for him.

Apparently its a dislocated knee so he's going to be out for a while.

Charlie Maddison who was cited for head contact with Caolin Blade got a 3 week ban.

[Ruckedtobits]

Strong Connacht line-up and proof of their developing depth.

Connacht by 10 points.

[sunshiner1]

A strong team. I don't eithers most powerful back row though so should be interesting in the breakdown.

[Ruckedtobits]

So, which team will be the more disappointed that Frank Murphy is in charge?

Frank's been getting better, IMO.

Some classic Frank already. Ulster break into the Connacht 22. Doak tackled to ground, no release from Connacht tackler. Frank misses it. Connacht turn it over a few phases later and Frank punishes Ulster for the same offence he’d missed a minute earlier.

[cormac]

Scrappy first half.

3-5

[Dave Cahill]

Frank Murphy is really perfecting the Wing Commander Blabbington-Smythe look

[wixfjord]

This is another really low quality interpro game.

[cormac]

Second half has improved a bit.

8-19 60 mins

Someone please explain to me how TOH has had a long professional career.

An absolute mystery. Has done nothing since 2016.

[cormac]

Will someone please explain to Hugh Cahill that taking a quick drop conversion would have made no difference.

[Dave Cahill]

Hugh Cahill is a dopey twit

Hugh Cahill is a dopey twit

Genuine question.... do other provincial supporters like him? He seems to have a fondness for Munster, do there supporters think hes good?

Who's telling RTE he's good?

[wixfjord]

Delighted for Adam.

Ulster implode, but Carty can't convert again.

His form has really fallen off a cliff.

Missed an absolute sitter of a conversion earlier on which was far easier than that one.
