Northampton vs Connacht 20th May 4pm - Match Thread

www.yr.no forecast for 4pm doesn't look so bad. (Or good, depending.)

Just realised if it's a draw at full time there will be extra time followed by a kicking competition if neccessary

Really just hoping we can regain some pride today. I have pretty much zero hope of us winning but hopefully we can at least end the season on a somewhat positive note.

Right I have two spare tickets, anyone wants them ?

Hopefully Muldoon can have a similar word with Raynal to what he had during the Wasps game

Ah Jesus why are our openside and number 8 defending on the wing?

Poor start but a fairly swift response

Best move off first phase ball by our backs in a long time. Northampton's defence doesn't seem great to be honest could be a high scoring game. They're shooting out of the line a lot and I don't think they're very good at it. If our lads can take the right options they can open them up. Twice now Danie's held on to the ball when he really should have passed. Sean O'Brien letting stupid penalties creep back into his game.

Rubbish discipline absolutely killing us now.

was getting the dinner during the start what happened Kelleher, and also why did Browne pull up

Very high penalty count so far from us

Don't know what happened either and I missed it if commentators mentioned it. Just saw on/off caption for Healy and Kelleher after maybe 2mins played. Missed Browne altogether, did he start?

No Cannon came in for him before kick off, saw it on twitter

Browne pulled out before kickoff, calf injury. Not sure what happened to Kelleher, Healy's doing well though.

No idea how we didn't get a yellow there, seriously got out of jail with that penalty.

Ya but that penalty there Northampton players in on top of the ball and they get the penalty

I know he had a tough task coming into the side at such short notice but Poolman has been so so bad. Ronaldson on the other hand has been the best player on the pitch by far

Edit: Northampton have obviously realised Poolman is incapable of making a tackle and have ran straight over him for a try
