Leinster v Connacht Sat Dec 22nd 2018, 19:45 Eir Sport 1

Ouch......ouch.
We dominated them in midfield but we were being burned out wide. For their third, or was it fourth, try we needed to get that ball off the park when kelleher had the chance.

Real missed chance..... sickened, may have ruined my Christmas

Lucky ye weren't there lads. Most sickening defeat I've been at as a Connacht fan.

It really was a sickening defeat, I don't think I've ever felt so raging about a result, and there's nothing to blame only ourselves, the bench really did not make any sort of impact, very tough pill to swallow

Horrible defeat but afik we're the only team to come away from Dublin with points so far this season. Need a big response now against ulst & munst .

Morning after and this hurts even more. Played some brilliant stuff but ultimately the lack of any depth on the bench came back to bite us when we started to flag.

We still should have had enough but some poor decision making late on gave leinster the momentum.

One big area we need to sort out is our maul defence. Conceding way too many tries in that regard.

In a few days might see more positives but for now it's still very raw can't imagine how the players feel.

Positive is that 6 of the last 10 are at home. We haven't much room for error now if we want top 3 in our conference.

I hope we aren't left ruing the ospreys and Leinster games at the end of the season.

What a heart breaking game. Sickened. I don’t want this to sound like an excuse but I see a lot of places saying that it was Connachts strongest team playing. I know I’m modern rugby there’s always injuries but I feel there was at least five players who would have started if fit/ not rested. Those are roux, sob, marmion, Healy and toh. Not to mention the strength of what the bench could have been if Carey, thornbury, faingaa, blade Horwitz etc. I think this is a real positive of how there is a real strength in depth developing.
