You know, if you look at a map of Ireland with the flags overlaid - it looks to me like Connacht is trying to stab Ulster, and Ulster is there going 'noooooo'.

I've just realised that I'm going to miss this match tonight, our S&S club have their annual cuisine night in Limerick tonight.
Sorry Ulster fans but I hope Connacht do the business up there tonight.

Have to say looking at it from the drone, Ravenhill is a fabulous stadium. You'd love to see the Sportsgrounds (and indeed the RDS) redeveloped in a similar fashion.

Christ that is brain dead from Jack Carty with us having a really strong attacking platform. FFS.

And again with advantage. It'd be generous to call that cross kick to porch even a hail mary. He had no chance.

No idea why Carty kicked that. Connacht were making ground carrying. Just keep doing that. Even if you had advantage.

and to follow that up the awful crossfield kick that was never on. An absolute waste of the advantage.

Think that should have been a penalty the other way tbh. Ulster lucky.

Brace is terrible ref.
Nothing in that bit of pushing & shoving, standard derby match stuff.

Third man in always going to be penalised in those situations, but Sutherland can count himself very lucky

Bizarre from Farrell. Little pop pass and Blade is in under the posts. Instead he just runs straight into the last defender.

Magic from Farrell followed by absolute bewilderment from Farrell.

Brave from Lowry but Farrell absolutely has to get that pass off.

Worry for Connacht is they have been on top here but have left points behind them.

Shocking from Farrell. Two poor choices from Carty before that. Decision making is killing us.
