    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?

    They could hardly get worse you’d imagine.

    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.

    Connacht really need to be converting these opportunities.

    Shouldn't be able to pull a 9s arm like that at the ruck.

    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?
