Wow, out of jail there. So many mistakes. I thought we were done when Hastings went off, but shows what I know.

Need to improve though. Thought some of the penalties we gave away were dreadful, including the one at the end. The ref was screaming at him to leave it, so just fucking leave it mate!

We made our life difficult for most of the game. Galway's now a tricky place to play where wins need to be earned. However our discipline and decisions were poor and kept Connacht dominant.

It's not all negative though as our pack looked stronger, more effective and less likely to get bullied like last season. Also we won in the end with a BP too.

However a big week of training's needed to fix the mistakes. You can't look too much into Munster's 38-0 win as the Cheetahs have lost a few players from last season I believe, and the SA away form is still poor. However it'll still be a tough, must win game. If you want to win silver you must win at home, especially against rivals...

Just turned it off. A Clermont player gets his hands on the ball in a ruck, is rolled forward but grabs the ball and hands it to a team mate while landing on his back and Clermont break out and score. Raynal (international ref) thinks it's fine!

The sub scrum half for Racing passed the ball to Russell once in about 10 minutes as well.

Saw an interesting tweet by Jaime Lyall. Turns out Grigg was in the right and the Ref apologised to him after the game, according to Rennie.  If that was true imagine if we lost the game now.

Thought at the time he was harshly penalised. On his feet and legal, when Davies shouted at him to Release. Davies has never really liked us and were pretty much guaranteed a sin binning from him. 

 

On Premier Sports, it was mentioned to them that the commentary was poor and very biased. They replied quite quickly stating that the commentators and cameras were Eir Ireland's rather than their own. They have said they'll look into it and see about getting their own commentators to cover it in future.

Yeah the commentary was brutally one sided. But it's no different from when the games were on BBC and you'd get the Irish commentators. Be nice to have some unbiased one or some Scottish ones that go on about "penas" so much.
