If the lessons of history teach us anything it is that nobody learns the lessons that history teaches us.
It's a worry alright, again no distinct sign of any gameplan. In fairness it was a terrible night to be a back, but still, our maul was excellent last season and it was perfect for last night but we didn't use it half enough. Nikora stood 10 yards behind the gainline every time.
If we don't pick up 4 points v Zebre, the knives will be out. At least we should have Parks, White, Wilkinson, Poolman, Harris Wright, McSharry and Tonetti available
Nobody watching Zebre v Connacht? Lovely grubber kick through for O'Halloran to run onto and score a great try - bounce was just right for him but his pace was nice to see. Half an hour gone, not a classic but not too bad either. Good to see Dave Ryan on the field too.
PS - plenty of Italian totty in the crowd ....![]()
Never mind perception because it isn’t real. It’s only what people think. Go out and make them think something else.

He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
0-13 now, gwan the Weshties ...

Zebre lucky not to have a second man in the bin there for a similar offence in the lineout. Nikora kicking well tonight, 7-16.

Try George Na'oupu, off the scrum with three lads hanging off him. That started with JOC winning the penalty on the ground down near halfway. 7-23 scoreline does flatter Connacht a little though, as there have been enough errors and some fairly lateral attacking play straight out of the Dumper playbook.

Dave Ah You takes the field, Connacht desperately defending on their own 5m and are pinged for hands in the ruck .... Massive Zebre scrum and their 8 is over for a try. 14-23.

Jaysus, massive breakout by Zebre but a knock on for the last pass throws Connacht a lifeline of a 5m scrum.

TG4 clock showing 81.57 as this scrum sets - clearly hasn't stopped in time with ref's watch. Early engage by Zebre. So how much time does your broadcast indicate is left? Mine's on 83.36!
