Carty having a mare in attack & defence. Stormers defence and tackling in particular really strong.

Carty would melt your brain at times. Connacht really struggling with Stormers rush defence

Carty is letting his team mates down by such a poor performance. His temperament is questionable on the basis of the first half.

I really hope that conversion fiasco won't matter at the end

As it happens, he had started his run up (one step) before the ball fell over, so a correct call.

But even if he hadn't taken that step, he didn't ask the ref for permission to respot the ball, so when he moved forward he had started his run up so correct call

I stand corrected.

Farrell and Mack have been excellent. Otherwise it has been grim. Stormers no great shakes in this half

Farrell has been excellent alright, as have Hansen (and Aki). Stormers really are mega-physical on the gainline.

Similar to the antagonist in a popular video game series, this sh!t is on.

Game over. More shite defence. You'd wonder what the ex Leinster lads make of the inattention to detail in their current team?

And that's why Carty hasn't more Ireland caps: two missed penos to the corner and one blown conversion in the first half and a kick over the dead ball line in the second. Four costly unforced errors.
