2022-23 URC quarter-final, Ulster V Connacht, 7:35PM TG4, Viaplay/Premier Sports

Bealham playing some lovely rugby tonight

Its a pretty even contest so far, dont think there will be much in this at the end.

a game that the benches could decide the outcome.

Good turnover in the end but christ almighty Carty is having a nightmare.

Great kick from Prendergast and super breakdown work on Balacoune.

Connacht better start making this count on the scoreboard though, Ulster will wake up eventually.

Jack is a major liability at this stage.

Apart from his two goal kicks, Carty has pretty much done everything badly.

If Connacht had even competent 10 play here they’d probably be 10+ points up.

Off an attacking and dominant scrum in the ulster 22 a double dose of carthy has connacht defending a lineout just outside their own 22.

Connacht lucky there, that clear out should have been a pen.

Brace should have issued the yellow there for the backchat though, he's warned about multiple times.

Connacht good value for the lead, but definitely left at least a try out there.

I think they'll regret that because theres no way Ulster will be as poor in the second half.

I bet after Brace chirping all first half to Ulster about how the next one is a yellow/stop the backchat, it'll be Connacht who get the first yellow. (Frank) Murphys Law.

Ulster are definitely rattled. Connacht not really allowing them into the game. You’d fear that Connacht have left at least 10 points behind them though. And Ulster will eventually get a purple patch.
