Great win on the Road for Connacht in
@URCOfficial
- some real progress out West now #ULSvCON - Check out their 22m Attack.
Last thing before real life:
When do we start having a serious talk about Henderson? Few big games at the start of this season but looks knackered again and, again, it seems his only consistent run in the team this year has coincided with another major downturn in performance
#ULSvCON
Big big result for Connacht, 4th league win in a row and all of a sudden they're making a serious charge for the playoff results. Really bad one for Ulster though, only 2 wins from their last 5 now and really need to get themselves back on track a bit.
#ULSvCON
A non-Irish referee, and inter-pro, and #Connacht win. And, not for the first time too

United Rugby Championship:
Ulster v #Connacht
www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/...
Ulster 19 Connacht 26
5 points away from home
An interpro win on the 12th attempt
First 4 game win streak in 3 years
Defence defence defence big hits huge work rate an 80 minute performance there
The attack tightened up the bench added great energy
#ULSvCON #BKTURC
Ca n'a pas suffit pour l' #Ulster qui ne rapporte que le point de bonus défensif de ce match contre le #Connacht qui en rapporte 5 ! #ULSvCON
Thats a serious win for Connacht away from home. 4 in a row. First interprovincial win in 12 attempts. Defence firing. Wingers on fire.
Without Mack, Gilbert, Devine, Ralston, Gavin, DTM and a host of others to choose from. That makes it even better!
#IrishRugby #ULSvCON
Scrappy first half from both sides but in the end Connacht really earned those 5pts very impressive Stu is really getting them moving.
#ULSvCON
Connacht far and away the better team, there. That Ulster were theoretically, if not in any real sense practically, at the end still in it was a near miracle. Thank feck it’s over, anyway. Very, very poor #ULSvCON
L' #Ulster revient à 7 points à 5 minutes de la fin ! Peuvent-ils aller chercher le nul? #ULSvCON #URC
Ferris’ love of having a go at Zac Ward is weird and obsessive even by the standards of Ferris’ enjoying having a go at Ulster players whose da’s he doesn’t know from down his golf club. Only part worse than Ulster’s performance is having to listen to Ferris boring on over the top of it #ULSvCON
This whole game can be summed up by the last pass just not going to hand
#ULSvCON
Ulster 7 Connacht 7
A bitty frustrating but physical game
Defences definitely dominating
Connacht made a lot of handling errors early on & making too many unforced errors
The kicking strategy + chase is poor giving Ulster good counter attack platform
#ULSvCON #BKTURC
Ulster and Connacht with the most week-after-the-Six-Nations half of rugby ever, there #ULSvCON
Oh Finlay that's not good 😬😬
#ULSvCON
Jansen simply loves scoring tries
#ULSvCON
Hope Lowry's alright but losing your starting fullback in the first five minutes because, not for the first time, he's got his head in totally the wrong place, is rather annoying! #ULSvCON
Nothing like a wee interpro at the end of the week. C'mon, Ulsterrr. Get into them! #ULSvCON
Father Ted looks very angry and concerned. He's shouting at Mrs Doyle. The text reads, "You selected Jacob Stockdale to play outside centre?" The head of Ritchie Murphy, the Ulster coach, has been crudely superimposed over Mrs Doyle's face.
That's quite the selection from Ulster in the midfield. I guess needs must but just in case it goes disastrously, I've got the memes ready! #ULSvCON
All backed up with a bench that will add impact whenever they are unleashed
#ULSvCON #BKTURC #IrishRugby #ConnachtrRugby
I must say, I'm a big fan of Kok.
#ULSvCON
Ulster 32 Connacht 27
At 24-24 we had the ability to push on and give ourselves a chance to win this game
But a headless red card challenge, needless penalties, poor kicking, forced passes, Connacht couldn't build any flow at all & kept giving Ulster territory
#ULSvCON
Ulster 19 Connacht 17
Somehow Connacht are 2 points behind at the break
Handling, decision-making, discipline all haven't been good enough.
When we respect the ball play with physicality good things happen
But the errors allow Ulster opportunities which they're taking
#ULSvCON
It's Interpro time!!!
@connachtrugby travel to @officialulsterrugby for rd 4 of the @urc
A BIG pack named in experience and size
Form being rewarded where possible and flexibility and impacts in that 6:2 split bench.
#ULSvCON #URC #BKTURC
HT Ulster 6 Connacht 10
Ulster controlled the opening 10-15 minutes but Connacht look settled enough in defence to not concede trys
They've had some great attacks leading to 2 great trys but the speed in attack turns a bit manic & not as clinical as they could be
#ULSvCON
@connachtrugby will need to be accurate and clinical as they look for the win vs an Ulster team that refused to go away last week
#ULSvCON
Auch zweite gestrige Derby #UlsterRugby – #ConnachtRugby lebte von Spannung statt Qualität. 20:19 (vor 6 Wochen: 20:22).
Beide Teams derzeit offensiv nicht handlungsschnell und recht überraschungsfrei. Letztendlich zu zahnlos gg solide Defenses.
