Connacht player dipped just before the contact. There seems to be a fair few reds given based as much on the outcome as the contact. Harsh red and a game spoiler.
If you start illegally then the dip cannot be taken into account as a mitigation. So when he made no effort to wrap his arms he was never legal so the dip is irrelevant. Thems the rules.
Was a stormers player sent off for v similar incident against Ulster last nt
Connacht should really be making a better fist of this. The door is open if they could string a few phases together
Very good performance by munster here down to 14 and into strong wind…BP now

All set up for a grandstand finish now. Connacht’s use of the project players/foreign market has been very good. That 10 is lively.

Some good handling in that five minutes at last
Hanrahan will probably miss this now😂
Ref is earning his corn the last few minutes
Crowley has been outstanding. Managing this game so well.

Brilliant try there off back of a bit of magic from mack
Crowley was excellent. He can do it on a wet Tuesday night in ballyhaunis. Can he do it on a dry Sunday afternoon in the Stade de France though?

A dry Saturday in la Rochelle be a good test for him next week anyway
Any lad reading my posts would know I’d go in two footed but best wishes to Wilkins

Only heard thru the comms there today that he was on sick leave. Serious?
Dunno who is worse set up, Connacht or the Sharks? Fucking hell
Wilkins quits! The best move for all parties and wishing him a speedy recovery.

Seems very unwell so hope he recovers. Right move to have someone step in.
Cully any chance of getting job permanently?
Will he still.go on Summer tour now that hes interim head coach at Connacht?
Tucker has been just as bad as Wilkins in his caretaker tenure so you’d really hope the board don’t make the same mistake appointing in-house again. I’d say Wilkins might drop out of rugby altogether for a while.
