Connacht v. Scarlets - Saturday 14th November 2020 - 735 p.m. KO

It's back to Pro14 action after two...

Looking for this hope, hopfully there's not some last minute set back as the last two weeks. Fingers crossed our lads (and the rest of us!) remain healthy! COME ON CONNACHT!

Not a great result. On the positives, I thought Papali'i was immense - he seemed to break their lines everytime. Ultan and Boyle had some great carries too. Tempo increased significantly when Marmion came in. To be fair to Reilly, it's not the kind of game that Scrum Halves love, especially for your first start! Jack didn't have a stellar game, which didn't help.

Worst thing was that it was a game that we should have had in the bag. Not trying to shift blame from our lads, they know better than anyone what the conditions can be like at home, but there was two certain tries that were knocked on before the line not counting even Buckleys try (which he was full sure he had). We had the chances, just didn't finish them.

Scarlets looked average, I thought. But they converted the chances they were given and didn't try and overplay.

It's frustrating that it's an inter-conference game. Munster looking strong in our conference so far. Frustrating.
