Phew 😅

Give us your three word thoughts on that humdinger (👀)…

#CARvCON

An absolutely horrendous game of rugby.
The Monday morning review will be grim 💀
#Connacht #CARvCON

Cardiff 14-8 Connacht FT

An absolutely terrible game of rugby 😂

But a mark of a good team to win ugly, and stay solid defensively and aerially.

Rolling on to Dragons!

#CARvCON

The Cardiff coaching team seconds after securing the win.

This is how you celebrate the win. Superb stuff from the @cardiffrugby.bsky.social coaching team.

Tom Bowen #GoodPlayer

Connacht on the other hand…. Oooft…..And not a good Ooft. #URC #CARvCON

🏉Huge relief for Cardiff as PoM Tom Bowen’s interception try in 77th minute makes it safe after a scoreless hour following his first, Connacht get last-move score for BP at 14-8
Decent first half but game went downhill with delays & over kicking

A win’s a win..

#CARvCON

Ah Connacht.

#CARvCON

#carvcon this is anti rugby ...shamefully bad from both ..puke rugby

The third time the commentator said he could hear everyone when the referee couldn’t was dull, the seventeenth time I was hoping for a sniper #CARvCON

Cardiff 7-3 Connacht HT

A tetchy half, some scramble defence and a well taken try keeping us ahead, but definitely a few scores left out there.

Need a big start to the second half.

#CARvCON

Connacht down7-3
Its a scrappy match with no real flow
Connacht are losing the breakdown battle giving too many penalties away and have had to defend far too much
Need to hold onto the ball more in the 2nd half cut out the unforced errors
#CARvCON

Lovely combination between Sheedy and Bowen there.

#CARvCON #URC

Pleasantly surprised to hear For Whom The Bell Tolls being played at Cardiff Arms Park. 😃 #CARvCON

Cardiff Rugby 🆚 Connacht Rugby Match day lineups #URC #CARvCON

One change to the named 15 for Connacht Rugbyfrom last week
Sean O'Brien comes in with Hurley-Langton on the bench as Boyle misses out

Cardiff will be tough opposition Connacht will need to be accurate & dominant at the breakdown + wary of the potential attack
#BKTURC #CARvCON

Joyce has been such a great signing since he joined.
Big ball carriers are something we are always in need, but he's more dynamic than that. Great feet for a big man!
#Connacht #URC #CARvCON

I had a look and Connacht have just two wins in their last eight away league games v Cardiff. Not a happy hunting ground.
Cardiff have started the season well too so it's going to be a very tough game.

Cardiff 19-28 Connacht FT

Second best.

#CARvCON

Cardiff 19 Connacht 28
20 points in pool 1
Made tough work of that at times, but put some good attack together with some good scores
Lineout scrum were on top
Conceded soft tries in a game where they defended phase play well
A good win job done in the challenge cup pool stages
#CARvCON

FT: Cardiff 19-28 Connacht.

Tries from Murphy, Joyce, Ralston and Devine wrap up a bonus point for the visitors, despite a Thomas Young brace. Cardiff will need to reply on results elsewhere to progress through the pools. #CARvCON

Another loss and no league points leave us waiting on other results to determine if we go through to the R16

I'm saving my thoughts for Tuesdays recording, but let's have your #3WordThoughts on that game.

Dick fingers galore

#EPCRChallengeCup

Dr Murphy gets POTM
A real physical performance from him has been brilliant in the lineout some good steals as well
#CARvCON

Like the look of Ben Thomas at 10, but then he goes and makes a silly mistake like that. Same when he was taking Kick-offs v Fiji.

Almost as if he doesn’t play 10 very often? #CARvCON #EPCR

LeeLo is some man

I genuinely groan every time he's named for Cardiff he's so dangerous both sides of the ball
#CARvCON

Ralston try aside has had a really tidy game. Good under the high ball making his tackles
#CARvCON

BONUS POINT TTTTTTRRRRRRYYYYYYY
Lovely quick ball of the lineout
2 fast phases Prendergast finds a soft shoulder breaks the line and finds Devine who was following through on the inside to score under the posts
#CARvCON

We have only conceded soft tries tonight and that's another one even with the good Cardiff skill just shouldn't have happened

#CARvCON

Try for Ralston in the corner!
The scrum move doesn't go to plan
But some good reset carries some good hands and options taken through Bundee Ioane and Santi gets yeh ball to Ralston to get over
#CARvCON

55’ | Try Connacht

Wing Byron Ralston crosses in the corner after some lovely hands from Aki and Ioane.

The fly-half adds the conversion.

🔵⚫️14-21 🟢🟢 #CARvCON

Connacht's defensive lineout is incredible
