    Roux’s physicality will be a big loss. Maksymiw is improving but still a fair bit off Roux’s level. Injuries make it a very tough task to get anything, need a massive game from Copeland and Robb to come back at his best to have a chance. Would fancy Porch to be able to skin Ludik if he can get a one on one.

    Healy out, Godwin starts. David Horwitz on to bench.

    I don't think we will see Horowitz for much of the game. It's very obvious Connacht need to cut out the mistakes. So with that sorted I am confident of a Connacht win

    Also TOH looked up for it again after his injury. So yep all looks positive

    Ulster are very formidable in Ravenhill, haven’t lost there since Connacht match over a year ago. They are also much closer to first XV than Connacht. You are the only connacht supporter who is positive I imagine.

    About four infringements five-ten metres from line, surely worth a warning from ref at least?

    Thought Blade could have finished initial chance, half second hesitation.

    Pity we couldn't have made a bit more of those phases of play between Blade held up and all the phases in the 22 there.

    Lot of effort for 3 points but promising signs

    Was never an Ulster penalty hit ridiculously soft try. This commentator on Eir is incredibly annoying.

    That pretty much sums up our season... just gifting points to teams better than us.
    Will usually go one way from there.

    A calamity of a try to concede. Connacht win line out, ball bobbles out of Copeland’s arms straight into the Ulster players hands and over the line.

    Really poor defending there. TOH is having a bit of a mare so far.

    Thought Ludik never really challenged for the ball there but was maybe a 50/50.

    They seem to be making ground at will out wide

    Ulster getting away with murder.

    TOH touched in the air - not a fair contest and at least 2 forward passes

    **** this

    McAllister gone off for a HIA now, and Bealham. Big blow.

    Should surely be a yellow for five penalty offences metres from the line

    Really have to be scoring these chances.
    Great defense by Ulster but that's twice we are camped in the 22 for multiple phases and only 3 points to show for it!

    Robb gone off for a HIA after getting smashed by Addison, 3 HIAs for Connacht in the first half is a scary stat.

    Worrying one for Robb with his concussion history.

    Yes. There are some serious consequences entering the equation for late season.
