Connacht 2017 - 2018

[Dave Cahill]

Beautiful try there, if only they'd realise that there are two ends to a pitch!

[cormac]

Lovely hands from Bundee

[paddyor]

7-7 to Zebo at the minute.

[cormac]

Some dive there from O'Halloran

[cormac]

Munster kicking far too much

[cormac]

Conway could be in serious trouble here. Yep it's red.

I think POM caused that don't see what Conway could have done.

[Oldschool]

61mins.
Conway red card.
POM lucky not to get a YC in the same incident.

[Laighin Break]

Yeah POM's trailing arm did catch him around the neck too. I don't think it really matters if Conway "couldn't do anything", he still caught him in the head

I thought POM seemed quite petulant dealing with Owens there. No doubt that's captain material right there

Remind me, do I care who wins? Conference system. Imagine that has a hashtag.

Course you care.
It's always nice to see the underdog win and an angry face or two as a result.

Delighted to see Connacht get a win in the Pro14. Keane as much as anybody needed it for sure. Not a brilliant game but dramatic. Munster had just about their 1st 15 out there and they struggled. 3 defeats in 4 Pro14 games for Munster now, Erasamutaz is waning fast.
POM, CJ, TOD. Not at the races at all.
Aki is going to be great in Green (Of Ireland)

Looking forward to what Schmidt does with Aki but what a situation to be in! Freud would not know where to start.
JS17 "I'd really like to have Aki in my current team and teach him everything i can to make him the best"
JS20"I wish i had Aki in my team"

Joe would pick Aki anyways. He could be that good (Sexton good)
Turnips would implode.

They may not be the only province who have to reassess when he’s picked.

If, as I expect he will, Aki rapidly becomes a fixture in the centre, which of our two ‘Home boys’ drop down to make way? So If starting today Henshaw at 13 works out for him, I could be along way back for Ringrose for ireland.

We've yet to see how Aki will go at International level. However, I suspect that he will be 1st choice center when fit. Gary is very good, very good indeed, but Aki/Henshaw could be brilliant. More games for Ringrose with Leinster would be the fallout. Not so bad.

... for us sure! But of course Ringrose won’t be happy about it- and it’s likely to lead to him either moving from the club (unlikely)-or push to change positions. Garry to 15 possibly? Not a bad option or result: a sort of reverse Jarrod Payne.

In attack (any combo of the 3 will be rock solid in defence). Aki/Henshaw is making meters, sucking defenders in and softly/deftly getting the ball away, massive benefit in being comfortable inside/out too.
Aki/Ringrose is a hammer and a carving knife. More pace and a better combo for "unlocking" a defence to have them scrambling.

I do think Aki will be 1st choice though (even though hes not looked the may west this season).

[simonokeeffe]

Ringrose is still probably a better 14 than anyone else in the country

Jarad Butler is looking handy from what Ive seen

It'll be Henshaw to FB.
The RWC isn't too far away.
Carberry is Sexton's likely cover up to it and replacement after it.
Ergo we need to find w FB post RWC - Henshaw is the obvious candidate.
