31 points in the second half so far. Probably expected considering the red card, but glad to see us step up the pace.

Dillane looks checked out.
Re: Connacht Vs Leinster 19.35 Sat 26th March
Dillane has been so poor. You'd never think that he has a stack of Ireland caps
Re: Connacht Vs Leinster 19.35 Sat 26th March
Nice shiner on Nick McC
Re: Connacht Vs Leinster 19.35 Sat 26th March
Some wheels on TOB

Good second try for Damien Duff

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace from Tommy O'Brien
Look out Itchy, he's Irish
Re: Connacht Vs Leinster 19.35 Sat 26th March
Inevitable they would gas out and we took full advantage of it. Champagne stuff now but when they were in our faces for much of this game we
were a bit of a rabble. And not for the first time this season.

Second half like a different team. Lineout & scrum issues are worrying though.
Osborne, Deegan, Rhys, Frawley, Hawkshaw pick of the bunch for me.
Deegan was very good. Love that performance from him, nuts and bolts with lots of hard carrying.
Osborne really looking like he could be a cracking centre. Previously he's looked like a great athlete but his handling and lines are coming good.
JOB, TOB and Joe McCarthy good also. Ross B was good in first 30 too.
Penny needs to work on his passing and was generally blown apart by Oliver.
Starting front row were all very poor. Big Mike's performances have dropped a bit and Tracy is just not trustworthy. Would be worried if we had to play him in Europe.

Don't think that's true to put it down to Connacht running out of gas.
Last 10 have been a bit of a rout, but when Connacht were still going hard (45-65 or so) we stepped up a gear.
First half was a different story.
Re: Connacht Vs Leinster 19.35 Sat 26th March
Ref has been quite good. Nice to see him declaring penalty advantage over a couple of times
Re: Connacht Vs Leinster 19.35 Sat 26th March
Hard to know what to make of that....really poor first 50 minutes and then 30 minutes of one way traffic.
Anyway job done 5 pts.
Hawkshaw and Ruddock pick of the bunch for me.

I’m Peter Dooleys biggest fan but it didn’t go for him tonight

I honestly don't know what analysts/pundits watch.
Heaslip & Jackie talking about Luke McGrath and why he's not in the Ireland squad and being 'baffled' as to why he's not in Faz plans.
Did you ever hear such nonsense. His passing for last two games has been so poor and kicking is almost as bad at times.
It's a great example of how people don't really look at a player closely and overrate 'big moments' like tries. (Cough POM Cough)

Jamie is one dull pundit. Flannery is far better

That sounded a bit harsh on Luke in fairness and I don't mean to be.wixfjord wrote: ↑March 26th, 2022, 9:39 pm I honestly don't know what analysts/pundits watch.

But he frustrates the hell out of me. Such a good athlete and leader but his nuts and bolts at 9 are just not at the level required and it causes us issues constantly.
