Our scrum struggling already...

6nil down both scrum infringements

Another scrum penalty within kicking distance.leaking too many cheap points at the moment

That's some great rugby. 9-5, length of field try.

What a counter attack,lovely rugby,Dillane is playing some serious rugby and if he keeps this up he'll put Henderson on the bench for Ireland.

That was such a lovely try,no defending against that kind of running and passing.

Connacht line out is doing well. Great match so far

Agreed.

Carty penalty, 8-9 now.

That flick pass

Lucky to get away with that penalty.

Toulouse on the ropes a bit now....

Henderson plays blindside for Ulster so unless Schmidt wants to play him in the second row its pretty unlikely.

I'd like to see Dilane running in the centre sometimes, rather than always on the wing.

Schmidt nearly always plays him in the 2nd row and that's a spot Ireland are short of quality so I don't see that changing.

I remember being in Sportsground for the last time Connacht played Toulouse. Quite a difference.

The scrum is their weak point. Lucky to escape conceding 3 points with the missed penalty kick.

Bad blood injury for Aki. Jeez that looks serious! Hope he's ok

Oh dear. Toulouse turning it on now. Lovely team try with plenty of offloading and well time passes. Doussain touches down. Two tries in five minutes.

21-11 to Toulouse. 37 mins gone.

Some terrible defending. 21-11 to Toulouse.

It's a pity the scrum is so one sided,Connacht would be right in this otherwise.

erdit: They're still in it but you know what I mean.

Yeah, our lineout has stolen a few though the way we play scrums are more common than lineouts.

Why do we go high/holdup the tackler when our scrum is getting murdered?

Massive try, 21-16, conversion to come

I really like O'Halloran as a player. Well taken try.

Connacht not giving up against a very powerful Toulouse.

Lovely try but need to nail every kick.5 points left behind this half.

We need a proper kicker so badly.

When does Boschoff arrive?

Big blow for Connacht if TOH goes off

EDIT: Whats his replacement like?

Come on Connacht!!!

Draw game with a tough conversion to come.

What a beauty of a kick,23-21 .

What a match!

Aki gets the equaliser and Ronaldson converts to take the lead

23-21

10 mins to go

Toulouse mess up the restart and they are rattled.

What's the score?

23-21 to Connacht 73 minutes gone

Go on Connacht!

Mad game,Connacht could end up with 1,4 or 5 points here and I have no clue which it'll be.

Woah, wonderful win.

Farkin magic!

Connacht hold out and win

Great two weeks for Connacht

Ah top stuff,great to see Connacht keep on improving.

Brilliant result, Connacht!

Lost stream for the last 8 mins, screaming at the laptop, girlfriend terrified, get it back for last kick of the ball. So relieved and delighted. My 2 point prediction was right!

Well done Connacht

That win will do wonders for them.

Aki is da man!

And O'Halloran alongside him.

Its a long way from the 3-0 loss against Munster in 2004 (first connacht match I was ever at). Great start to the weekend for the Irish teams.

Just like the Rumble in the Jungle. Toulouse were brute force especially in the scrum and Connacht running them around the park and tiring them out.

What a match.

Aki is a warrior, O'Halloran is pushing Payne for the best 15 in Ireland and can I get a minute for Ginger Sean O'Brien... He was a game changer. Get him in the Ireland squad ASAP!

Was very worried he has done his knee ligaments after the player fell on him really awkwardly, hopefully not out for too long and gets his chance in November
