Ulster played for 10-20mins & that's it. If Connacht had actually put away half the points they should have in the 1st half it wouldn't even have been a contest

[edit] this is Connachts 2nd win up in Ravenhill

Not the best, I think. Hardly ever beat them, if memory serves.
Memory refresh. Make the Stormers vs Bulls quarter a lot more tense. SA to get one semi final.

Yup, agreed.

They will need to be more clinical in the next round.

Yup. Thought there was nothing worse in rugby at the moment than watching an Irish team play. Turns out I was wrong, watching two is even worse

Knew Ulster might be in trouble when I saw the selection. Depending on lads with one foot out the door to bring "impact" in the second half?
Never going to happen.

He was good at Grey College and for a few games here and there since. Career curtailed by injury and being a poes.

The no hands on the floor rule is now completely arbitrary - Kitshoff definitely went beyond the ball first in the latest one.
