    Carty is unbelievably poor.

    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 2 lucky there I’d say.

    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.

    Connacht deserve their lead, and it could and should have been more.


    Ulster poor, cant get the ball moving, cant put phases together, very little territory and coughing up line breaks.

    Long way to go in this yet.

    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.

    Connacht should be 10-15 ahead. Ulster will eventually sort themselves out and win. Been very poor tonight though.

    Very good half for us, but probably not far ahead enough considering our dominance in the collisions. Real breakout performance from SHL but the pack as a whole have been excellent. Jack hasn't been great unfortunately and the backline are a bit sloppy in terms of running lines and passing. The Tom Farrell non pass was unforgivable. Conor Oliver a very lucky boy, that was a nasty clear out.

    Probably should have got yellow for that tbf.

    Although I'd argue Cooney should have been in the bin for the swinging arm on O'Halloran too, so I'll call it even on that front.

    Bit of a chaotic game

    I've always been a Balacoune skeptic but he's been impressive today.

    Connacht should be 10 to 15 ahead. Playing well but some of the individual errors by certain players are unforgivable. Scrum is far superior, keep it in, and force Brace to give the penalty.

    Surely Ulster can only get better in the second half?

    Carthy is making mistakes but at least he is tryin to play.

    Burns on the other hand is completely anonymous. How ulster have allowed him to get so many caps is a constant source of laughter and bewilderment for me.

    Carty solid at the T but other than that ,very poor. Cannot understand what Ulster are at.

    Sign of a bad ref to be constantly getting in the way like Brace is tonight.

    Hurley-Langton'a carry off the lineout was incredible. Blew through the Ulster backrow.

    Then Connacht butchered another chance.

    If Connacht lose this they will be kicking themselves. They've been completely dominant.

    Connacht's breakdown work has been incredible.

    But Ulster are playing into their hands with some pretty basic attacking play. That strike play from the lineout had one wrap around pass, a direct carry, ruck, straight carry and turnover. Nothing done to stress the defence.

    His cards should have been marked after the shite he spoke following some of the losses during the season.

    Unreal turnover from Hansen.

    If (when) Connacht don't win tonight it'll be down to some of the worst red zone execution I've ever seen. How many visits have we had inside the Ulster 10?

    Carty surely only still on the field as Connacht don’t have a 10 on the bench.
