weather's luvly ... stream dodgy
Does look like a pleasant day. Connacht close early but they can't get it over.
Inches short again. And Connacht gets over in the two man push. 7-0 to the Cons.
try to the Irish ... 7-0 after 3 min
top 'o the morning to you Pakie
Glasgow making heavy work of their goal line assault. Cons will get a warning.
Bottom of the evenin' to you Blobbie.
Glasgow at last gets it on the line with all the finesse of a two legged elephant. 7-7
Good evening Blob and Pakie
Cons get a yellow for repeated offside. Could be a game deciding 10 minutes ahead.
Howzit Moz.
Glas not really firing, Cons dealing with their attacks fairly easily.
And now a little pseudo maul gets them over.
Cons could bleed 14 points on that yellow. Oh wait, obstruction call coming from the TMO.
Glascow over again…..and some time left on the yellow
Looked a bit truck and trailerish on review
Connies off the hook try disallowed
Yeah no try.
Cons defense forces Glas into the boxie, Cons can clear, Glas counters and kicks it away and Cons can run it back now.
Some slick stuff from Cons, they just lacked the extra man wide to keep it going.
Now that was a clever line move….not just shuffling the ball
survived being a man down without conceding
So the yellow cost zero. Well played Cons. Kyle Steyn with a line break and then the kick when a pass to the guy wrapping around may have gotten them clear and in. Probably didn't get the call.
Yellow wasted
Surely that was a turnover to Cons, man on his feet on the ball, tackled player not releasing. Play on.
Terrific chase and tackle by Steyn as Ioane took off downfield.
Brilliant by Steyn
Now it all grinds to a halt on the tryline, Glas clears after turning Cons over.
turnover to Glasgow on their line
Cons look a little toothless. Throwing it around but not looking like they're going to pry anything open.
And when they finally find a sliver of space wide there's a hooker that can't catch it.
Outside of that move that set Steyn free, not much happening out there.
Dear Old Glascow Town actually looking good tonight.
spotted Stav ....
Wasn't gonna watch this. Switched on expecting Glasgow to be well in the lead...but it's 7 a piece.
Couple of poor Glascow tactical kicks and missed tackles have been costly.
spotted Stav ....
But how? I've seen no translucent hunchback with a Union Jack and a red carnation anywhere.
Howzit Plummie. I'm probably not going to watch the second half, there's nothing happening.
Another little Cons move easily snuffed out. They've got nothing to trouble Glasgow with, should be a matter of time. Not that Glasgow is stretching the Cons either.
That was a waste…a few phases and they may have milked a penalty.
Half ended as lamely as it's been. Not worth sitting up at this hour for this kind of stuff. See you tomorrow for the real rugby, chaps.
I guess it's good for us if Stav's boys win.
Later, Paks.
No bootie calling "her" now
Gotta leave her some missed calls, man. For old time's sake.
Steyn showing lots of class tonight
And again….well deserved Glascow
pity about that, it was a brilliant move
And Glasgow get two in two minutes.
The second one was nice but a forward pass sees it cancelled.
Connacht really struggling for momentum while Glasgow show signs of wanting to turn it on.
21-7 ... Jocks made that look easy
Franco Smith is coaching some attractive rugby
...and Josh McKay benefits from a penalty advantage off the scrum and finishes off a nice backline move.
Irish need to score soon
Connacht needs a score soon.
Glasgow on a warning for 3 penalties in a row.
Connacht have a chance with a lineout on Glasgow's 5m
Long old battle on Glasgow's line and they do eat a yellow.
Nice defence by Glasgow, they met the attackers ferociously there
TM0 says Connacht have scored, and it looks like they have
Try Connacht!
Game on.
...and Glasgow a man down.
Try and a card…the double negative
21-14 Glasgow man in bin ...game on ... 64 min
Conversion slotted
21-14 Glasgow
What a strange try….that lad has to the slowest man on the park…but handsome is as handsome does
Haha Glasgow score.
That might be the slowed lock in all of rugby.
How does a pro rugby player run that awkwardly?
what a strange looking try with the giant's handicapped gait
And Connacht come back again…poor initial defense by Glascow
And Connacht score!
Still 8 minutes left so it's not over...
28-21 Glasgow
...but Connacht totally fluff the restart and now have to defend a scrum right on their own line
Haha rugby is so cruel
He ran as if he had a broom stuck up his jacksy
That’s how to score these close in tries….get the ball wide.
Glasgow opted for a lineout.
They get a penalty advantage and Steyn dashes Stav's hopes as he dots down in the corner.
Majestic game by Kyle Steyn, he has to e the MOM
Later chaps.
The Bulls game tomorrow should be a good one
Smith ball looks a whole lot better than Brown ball
Good effort by Connach...not good enough though, Glasgow has a very good well coached outfit...
Seems like things picked up after I left! Will catch the highlights on the Tube.
My current time zone is k@k for watching rugga...
That's a bummer, Draad. By the same token late night games aren't easy for me anymore. It better be really good for me to sit up until 10ish. The first half of this game was just too slow.
