Ospreys had a strong side over, in fairness, but we 100% played ourselves out of a win there. Cannot imagine that there were many happy heads in the dressing room.

Everything seems to be there on paper - strong team, relatively few injury woes, decent weather, at home, still something to play for. It just feels like the team is not greater than the sum of its parts.

On the positive side, these are all fixable issues. On the negative, we have potentially only one game left in this insane season - I cannot see this Rainbow Cup thing working out in the way that it's supposed to.

EDIT: We've more than one match left! Jaysus, the coffee hadn't hit. I had a gander at the Pro14 site, assumed there was going to be a big ol' gap after next round! Nope: 6 left!

Ah Stop, where do we start with performance
Total Muk!! Looking a little rudderless out there at the moment. Mistakes are costing us dearly.
Hopefully the guys can turn this around as we still are in a great spot for H-Cup qualification.
Our lack of performance was matched by Frank. He was very poor for both sides yesterday.
Poor in most areas, but I thought he didn't ref the scrum and disrespected JB by talking at him rather than to him.

Winning away to the Dragons is now a must

Well that was fairly chronic.

Seven changes and no Carty, good to see Robb back.

Looking forward to this. Only 4 points between us and Cardiff (although we do have two games in hand) so still quite a bit to play for.

Join the Connacht Clan this Sunday at...

Rescheduled again for next week, Sun Jan 24 at 3pm, naturally on TG4.

Rescheduled for Saturday February 13th 7:35pm.

Three games now.
I'm beginning to think that these should be awarded to the team that has no cases (28-0) like in the Nations Cup.

MMMMMAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTCCCCCCCCCCCHHH OFF!!

Feck, we've had bad luck with this. Better safe than sorry, 100%

It's what was expected if the card was upheld, I suppose, but disappointing all the same.

Will be interesting to see if there's comment made, or if Friend is just going to move on with things.

5 weeks suspended (possible 6 with week reduced due to remorse)

You've said this on purpose, you mean boy:P

We might not be laughing after the results of the hearing!!

And indeed we are not laughing: 5 week suspension (6 weeks with one off for remorse / sending nice biscuits to the meeting). Next available for Leinster away at New Year.

Think its 50/50 on how it'll go but optimistic as well

Nowt so far from what I can see. Fingers crossed common sense prevails!

Any word yet on the red card appeal?

Looking forward to this one! Should be a cracking match, and you'd have to think that heads are high after last week!
