[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 1022936, member: 50079"] Jesus christ my heart. I genuinely hate rugby. We were not nine points better than them tonight. Was getting my humble 'better side won post' ready for parts of that game. Just shows you just have to be the better side in key moments. Cloete was definitely our Man of The Match he will get pinged a good bit but he's generally bang on with his technique and sometimes punished harshly I think. Haley was also very good they learned early on the high balls weren't working on him. Few lads were very very poor tonight though. Thought our starting props were behind the pace and our rows really frustrated me. O'Donoghue followed up a class game last week with a relatively poor one this weekend. O'Sullivan had a few nice carries but disappeared at times. Hanrahan the usual few howlers The back play showed a bit of evidence of trying to play good ball in the first half no matter how frustrating the execution was at time. O'Byrne relied upon massively to handle the ball and then a ball out the back to Hanrahan which was maybe a bit predictable at times. Would love to see our wings actually attack more they really are just kick chasing implements on nights like tonight. Lineout, ball presentation and support play all need work. Job done against a bogie team though. Best Connacht and this pool is well beyond doubt. [/QUOTE]
