McCloskey has a habit of mouthing off. Needs to get rid of that habit. In fact the Ulster team in general seem to have that lack of discipline. Brace marched a pen forward 10 for Cooney mouthing also.

Connacht should be 16-3 ahead but for the refusal to give the scoring pass to Blade. They’ve played all the rugby.

Such basic errors and poor play from both sides.
I was thinking the same thing. Helter-skelter stuff but the basics are so poor.

Keith wrote: May 5th, 2023, 8:04 pm It's the same old nonsense from Connacht. . Already had a butchered try, A ridiculous drop goal attempt (in a promising position), a kick to nowhere on pen advantage on the Ulster line and a comical tap and go attempt on the 5m line. All in 20mins. Maybe I take Leinster doing the "simple things" so well for granted
This is the second time that Dave Heffernan has dropped a 5m tap penalty this season ... but for the life of me I can't remember the other game. Was it Connacht vs Munster?

OMG... Any one of 4 Connacht players could have scored with a decent pass.

Stockdale did not land in the field of play there; Frank misses it (his foot landed touching the line). Immaterial as Moore clears to touch.

Honestly can't see Connacht winning from here. Too many butchered tries.

Connacht have barely thrown a pass out the back all night. Everything is just one up carries.

Terrible call from the TMO on that lineout. Luckily had no impact

Brace really doesn't command respect or inspire confidence at all.

I agree but is he getting much wrong here? The penalties against Ulster have been blatant.

My schadenfreude is strong for that Ulster crowd, Cooney, Hume and McFarland.
