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

7-7 to Zebo at the minute.
Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

Conway could be in serious trouble here. Yep it's red.
Look out Itchy, he's Irish

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

Re: Connacht 2017 - 2018
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.

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

Re: Connacht 2017 - 2018
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.

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.

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.

Re: Connacht 2017 - 2018
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.

Re: Connacht 2017 - 2018
... 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.blockhead wrote:We've yet to see how Aki will go at International level. However, I suspect that he will be 1st choice center when fit.

Re: Connacht 2017 - 2018
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.artaneboy wrote:They may not be the only province who have to reassess when he’s picked.blockhead wrote:Joe would pick Aki anyways.

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).

Re: Connacht 2017 - 2018
Ringrose is still probably a better 14 than anyone else in the country

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.
