Hume is a big blow to Ulster in fairness. Gaps are only opening up now that he's off.

Diabhal

I won't lie lads: I'm bulling here. TOH should retire after that missed tackle. I can't even remember who shot out of the line the cause that. Yeah I don’t blame you for being frustrated. Connacht have really fallen off the ten minutes either side of halftime. We can't even really use the excuse th...

Diabhal

Ulster deserved that. Moore, Andrew, McCann and Flannery are going very well.

Connacht need some shoeing up the hole at halftime. You know things are enormously fecked when Tiernan O'Halloran is the best out there in green so far.

Diabhal

This is the worst Connacht pack performance in a decade

Diabhal

Crossing so obvious that even Stevie Wonder could call it

Diabhal

You wouldn't think Ulster were the weakened side here. Connacht's worst showing in a long time.

Diabhal

Connacht are absolute wank so far. Ulster been much more impressive.

Diabhal

Connacht lads, who should we be looking out for this season? Forde, Darragh Murray, Shamus Hurley Langton and all going well Matt Devine. Not needing top 6 is a big bonus for Connacht with regards Zombie Champions Cup qualification but I think with the internationals are back we'd be looking for pl...

Diabhal

It'll be interesting to see how Forde gets on in Europe. He looks to have all the tools.

Diabhal

Bladey is some bit of stuff. Constantly on the shoulder.

Diabhal

Cathal Forde and Prendergast the pick of the lot so far btw

Diabhal

All JJ needs to do is keep up his goal-kicking without doing anything else and he'll be a huge step-up from post-Japan Carty.

Diabhal

I've no doubt I said Cathal Forde was a better form 12 for Connacht than Bundee but Christ above the latter is playing the best rugby of his life.

Diabhal

I wouldn't be too downhearted yet if I was McCloskey. Henshaw after missing last week won't have enough gametime behind him and god forbid anything happens to Bundee he'd be straight in against the Boks. I'd have sooner seen JOB as 23 for Saturday though. Seems like potentially Farrell might fancy E...

Diabhal

A few lads you'd expect to be leaders at this stage like Henshaw went missing in a big way in that first half.

No harm to get a scare like that but Healy's injury is a big blow to the bench.

Fairplay to himself and Murray. They needed that.

That Cordero news is a disaster. There was a Whatsapp rumour doing the rounds this morning that he'd torn the cruciate but I dismissed it as nonsense.

Diabhal

Indeed, we won the All Ireland schools hurling comp 2 years ago, best school in Ireland, best school in Ireland, best school in Ireland - I have been to na Piarsaigh matches over the years but I wouldn't pretend to be hardcore about it. Anyhow, maybe I'm wrong on a Midlands stadium, but with PuC do...

Diabhal

Congrats to all Munster heads. Fekitoa gave some showing for a lad on his way out.

Diabhal

Any Munster fan delighted to see a Leinster side that is basically the Ireland team playing in blue defeated is weird. Especially weeks out from a RWC where we might finally make an impact. This loss should be concerning for supporters all over this island. I'm not even a Munster fan but this stink...

Diabhal

Commiserations to the Leinster heads. I know it's a harsh blow but Cullen has disastrously underachieved but always gets away from any criticism.

I'm happy enough with that. Either Carty ponies up next year or we at least have a stop-gap till there's more availability in the 10's market

Diabhal

In fairness to Friend he left Connacht in a better place than he found it from Kieran Keane. I think he gets a bit too much credit in the media because they only get coverage for big interpro wins but he absolutely had his share of highs too. He's an absolute gent so hopefully whatever's next goes w...

Diabhal

Lineout went to absolute shite after Murray went off. He's the glue that gets the whole thing flowing. Bealham, Farrell and Hansen the other bright spots from a disappointing loss.

Diabhal

Unreal offload there in fairness

Diabhal

Now that's the Connacht we know and love. Comically bad error from Daly.

Diabhal

Ah lads. Only for the mistakes............

Diabhal

Unreal from Porchy!

Diabhal

Christ above we make it so easy for them to waltz through tackles

Diabhal

I fully approve of Toto as stadium music

Diabhal

f**king Carty again.

Diabhal

Not been their best day collectively but Murray once again showing he's international class against a very strong opposition.

Diabhal

Carty would absolute sicken you. A brilliant floated pass for Hansen's try and then non-stop basic errors that have cost Connacht so dearly here.

Diabhal

Stormers showing mercy and putting us out of our misery before the 35th minute with plenty of help from Carty

Diabhal

Seeing a Munster supporter admit they subscribe to TRK is like finding a flat earther. "TRK's not as bad on the patreon" is a common coping mechanism.

Diabhal

Stormers by 50+

Diabhal

Thanks Leinster lads for another decent turn for the boys out West

Diabhal

Fair fecks to Wilkins/Friend for that result tonight. I'd the season written off after the Ulster defeat at home but with a bit of luck and a big improvement they've almost secured Heineken Cup rugby and have a semi final to show for it. Wilkins gets a lot of gip from some of the Connacht lads on h...
