[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 939329, member: 50079"] Carty has been outstanding this season. I was not a fan of him in the last at all and you can find multiple quotes on this forum arresting to that but he’s come on hugely and honestly I think a lot of it has come from Connacht playing a slightly more streetwise game. Connacht in the past few years were always very intent on running the game to a fault because their ability to play field position cost them so many winnable games. I think their game plan these days Carty out of hand is an absolutely great kicker and he’s showed it this year. I’ve just finished Munster game. I watched the first half before having to go on a sex date and was very frustrated but never believed we’d lose it either. Full credit to Zebre they came to play and their high risk style is absolutely the way to play it when you’re outgunned away from home. They have a few players who could definitely shine in a better side. For us I thought O’Donoghue was our best player which is great news. Alby in my opinion should start next week he’s very physical gets to rucks quickly and bosses things well. It’s still very clear to me though that when our pack is against it a bit our back line has very little imagination and our passing is neither accurate enough or fast enough especially when Joey isn’t there. We’re still not a European champion side and I think coaching does have to be addressed eventually. [/QUOTE]
