Josh has turned into an absolute animal with the ball

Massive moment from the man in the red scrumcap.

Re: Connacht v Leinster 8th April
The TMO called the ref to take a look at it but he decided pretty much what you said

Re: Connacht v Leinster 8th April
Huge moment here.

Unpopular opinion: Ross Byrne is over rated
Re: Connacht v Leinster 8th April
This is getting really loose. Lowe losing the plot a bit.
Re: Connacht v Leinster 8th April
Could have called not straight a few times already.
Re: Connacht v Leinster 8th April
Well like he missed 3 conversions last week and missed a kick to touch there. He’s not bad I just don’t understand why you guys think he’s the 2nd best out half in the country. Has no flare to his game too.
Re: Connacht v Leinster 8th April
Really messy second half performance. Good bit of work to do in the Aviva.
Re: Connacht v Leinster 8th April
I'd have taken that result before the game and I certainly would have taken it when watching JGP tackle.
Re: Connacht v Leinster 8th April
Good game. Hard fought which made things scrappy at times. The ref was in danger of losing control with all the backchat etc but just held it together.
Would have given motm to either VDF or Porch.

Re: Connacht v Leinster 8th April
It feels like we should’ve had one more try there. The last quarter was pretty sloppy
Re: Connacht v Leinster 8th April
LPG tackle wasnt a red IMO. He was going backwards or stationary at best.
Yellow fair enough.

Dont Panic!
Re: Connacht v Leinster 8th April
Agree. I think Connacht can be a lot happier with that scoreline.

Re: Connacht v Leinster 8th April
Really disappointed with our centre pairing tonight, both poor I thought.
We were defensively stretched up the middle a few times.
Jack fairly quiet again also, he must be under pressure to keep his spot.
Back three were a different class in first half and VDF changed the whole momentum of the game with that turnover.
Having said that, we should've had at least another try and look more dangerous. If we can keep the errors down we'll win in the Aviva.

Re: Connacht v Leinster 8th April
Feels like a bit of a missed opportunity to not get a bigger lead but at the same time we were so lucky not to concede a red card that I’ll take the win. Some really poor decisions for both sides, I’d be fuming about that non red card if I was a Connacht fan but they got some very dodgy calls too.
Defence was very passive at times and we were all over the place in midfield, that’s a big work on for next week. Set piece was good but we should have got more. Furlong has been quiet recently. Okay the scrum was on top but outside of that he seemed out of sorts again.
I’m interested to see if JGP’s reckless game changing moment gets the same kind of criticism that Luke gets for a stray pass or kick. He played well outside of that though and assuming he’s available for next week I think we can run them ragged.

Re: Connacht v Leinster 8th April
Strange to bring up one bad performance off the tee a week ago when we know he's a great place kicker, but anyway.

He was upright and put his shoulder into Marmion’s face, can’t see how there’s any mitigation myself.
