Replacements: Ethienne Reynecke, Rodney Ah You, Ronan Loughney, Andrew Browne, Johnny O'Connor, Paul O'Donohoe, Miah Nikora, Gavin Duffy

Im pretty sure we've lost to Irish provinces more. We lost to Ulster at the start of this season George? Wish they wouldn't play habberfield in the wing. Seems a waste.

Another win for Ospreys. And keep Sam Davies so he doesn't feature for the U20s again.

Ulster have beaten Ospreys twice in that period once at home and once away.

If you put McSharry and Carr (who is returning I believe) into that back line
you have serious attacking potental

McKeown looks class. Future irish No.8

I also was surprised at how Tonetti played. He looks a good prospect in the midfield. Poolman is a great find.

Sorry my phone died there. Had to switch on the PC.

Dan Parks dropped a goal to make it 22 10. Os had a player carded at the death for a tip tackle. Finished 22 10 Os get nothing.

Well done Connacht! Lets hope they can push on from this as they are really lacking consistancy.

Well played Connacht. That was a very good win...!

I am more than a little butter and dissappointed in the Ospreys. But much of that is due to Connachts ability.

I see Ah You has been taken off (uninjured) after only 10 min on the pitch, indeed i'm pretty sure Connacht would have lost has he stayed on, the scrum was getting mullered.

Surely this was the last time we saw him in a Connacht shirt.

Yep ,Rodney is pretty awful. Connacht fans hate to see him anywhere near the Eagles team let alone the Senior team. Buckley must be injured?

Also Duncan Jones seemed to have the upper hand on Loughney. It was only that Wilkinson was way ontop of his fella. Its dissapointing because Hagan took Jones apart last time we played the Os. I though Loughneys scrummaging was getting better.

Don't know why Buckley wasn't there but it proved to be a huge miss.

Duncan Jones has a weird technique, i have seen him giving troubles to Census Johnstone this year, i think it's all about matchups and generally he is very hard to deal with.

I didn't see the game, but fair play to Connacht. If the FT score is anything to go by they got a good win at home and deprived Ospreys (unless it was their own doing) of a LBP. O's could've done with a BP as well. There's only one point between Leinster, Ospreys and Scarlets on the table. As it stands, O's are just about in the top four but that could well change later today.
