CONNACHT RUGBY V KINGS

No thread for this, but I'm watching so may as well.

Soft turnover by Kings, but they do look decent in attack.

Is it on sky?

No, I'm watching it on TG4, but you can stream it on cricfree. Sure there's other streams

Kings 11 yellow carded.

Disciple is an issue here, but they will learn.

Yellow card for that? Are you kidding me.

Game is soft.

I agree. It was soft. Thing is, this is the way it's going, so learn quickly or lose games.

Good Try by Connacht.

Kings discipline is poor. Sort out the discipline lads! No points from it though.

Connacht 7 KINGS 0

Kings are looking a more complete team than Cheetahs.

I think Kings need a lot more muscle, as do Cheetahs. They rely too much on pace, and both are lightweight across the field.

Both need time. It's damned hard coming into this competition.

Kings very close to a Try.

And there you have it. KINGS TRY!

KINGS must have a very good coach, but still think they will fall apart in the 2nd

Thanks for setting this up Munchkin! Connacht playing well in front of the All Ireland Winning Galway hurlers!

Kings unfortunate with the yellow. First taste of the Galway weather is also tough to adjust to

Connacht going through the phases well. Scrum is holding up a lot better than against Glasgow last week.

Kings with the wind advantage now need to make something happen early in the second half

Kings haven't a prayer. Too lightweight across the field. They are going to get hammered in the 2nd half.

For Connacht they should be putting a bonus point to bed early in the half. Really liking the way Keane has them humming so far, unlucky last week but showing good structure this week

I thought the yellow was soft, but Kings haven't a prayer here. Connacht are like a predator checking out their kill. It's game over in the 2nd half.

I want the SA teams to challenge, and think they will. It takes time, and it's a tough competition they came into. The AP might have been easier for them.

Kings stamina will fail soon. They need muscle, fitness and mental toughness. Remember, this is a thrown together side after losing so many players...

27-5 to Connacht.

Yellow against Bealham. Shoulder charge. 52:20

Opps! Kings score a Try! Nope, maybe not. cowpat! It was a fine Try, but ruled out.

Just dropped it, close one!

Have to say been very impressed with Crosbie, if he can consistently bring this intensity then he could be challenging Carty for the start. Would be great to have some competition!

I had to do a double take when I saw on the result who the yellowcard was for ...
