Connacht....Jebus Wept...

Having just finished clearing away the Christmas decorations I sat down to have a look at Connacht and Aironi....after about 5135 knock ons and unforced errors by Connacht I lost the will to live...Clearly Elwood is making a big impression....

TG4 (The irish language station) gave a little overview of Irish words for rugby terms....

They should add a new one..

Connacht = "Not that good at rugby".

Ba bheag nár phleasc mé amach ag caoineadh ag féachaint ar Connacht. Ní rabhadr ag úsaid a cloigeann ina aon chor.

They were pretty terrible, I think it comes from a lack of confidence. They are at rock bottom.

Their heads were concrete Thomond...

Terrible isnt the word.

Dreadful showing. They won enough of the collisions in the first half to be in a much better position but their handling was god awful.

I'm not impressed by Connacht having seen them recently but Aironi at home are never easy.

I was pretty impressed with Connacht whenever I've seen them recently. They look organised and committed in defence, have a good pack and excellent skill level and pace in the backs. They should have beat Leinster last week.

Maybe the games are just catching up with them?
