I feel sorry for the poor fecker who has to make a "highlight package" from that.

Shocker but there will always be a few of those through the course of a season. Bank it and run like hell. Ross will not enjoy the Monday debrief!

ROL, Molony, Tracy probably our pick of the lot. Thought each of them had solid games.

Keenan looked good too, had probably our best bit of play in the game with his break.

Tomane good in first half but made errors too.

Doris was good when he came in as were the sub props.

They've just started round the clock replays in Mountjoy.

JGP and Tomane didn’t have a good game. I thought Bairdo brought NRG when he came on

Aye that's a big win for Connacht and a good one for us.
Gives breathing space at the top of the pool.

Glasgow went down to Dragons earlier too.

I thought the boys showed great character in the defense especially towards the last 20. We deserved the W

Admittedly we didn't have much ball or territory in the last half an hour but why didn't we persist with the pick and goes? It worked really well at the start of the second half and led to a couple of try scoring opportunities and then we just stopped it.

Huge missed opportunity for Deegan, it's hard not to see Doris being ahead of him after this. Bryan Byrne probably slipped further behind Kelleher too. JGP and Ross Byrne have more credit in the bank but still so disappointing to see them play so poorly.

Molony, ROL, and Keenan the best performers for me. It may not have inspired others but Molony was really solid, basically the exact kind of performance I was hoping to be able to deliver consistently by now after his trouble a couple of years ago.

Zebre worked their socks off in fairness but just lack a cutting edge.

Worst game I’ve watched in a good while. So many basic errors.

The main positive we can take away is how good we were in defence, especially in the second half. Every time Zebre started to put phases together they’d lose 20 or 30 meters before making some appalling basic error and letting us off the hook.

That game could have been twice as long and probably still ended up 3-0. Such a terrible performance from both teams going forward.

Fair play to Connacht, big result for us.

Heading off to therapy now having had to sit through that game.

Genuine pity that Errorcom sports actually got the feed working, could have saved me from that.........

On a serious note Doris made a big difference when he came on and Keenan continues to impress.

A character buiding win for the youngsters, that's how I'll forget it.
Glasgow now 14pts behind us. They would want to get motoring or they will be left behind by ourselves,Cheetahs and Ulster.
You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

Just got the result on the RTE website. I was wondering if it was a soccer match.

Nah, there’s no way an Irish team would beat an Italian Team 3-0 :)

Did they even bother with a Man of the Match?

I’m struggling to even come up with a witty comment.

MOM was one of those Italian ladies the cameraman spent most of the match focusing on. They gave up trying to choose one from the match and gave it to her instead. :)

I knew it had to be one of the hookers.
