Connacht 19 Ulster 32
Ulster succeeded in consolidating their lead at the top of Conference A with a comfortable victory over Connacht in Galway on Sunday.
It was the first time in five years that Dan McFarlandâs side has left the Sportsground with a victory and they were deserving winners after taking control of the second half, posting 23 points, and limiting Connacht to a single try.
This was a big statement from Ulster. Missing 17 players, including a raft of big-names, they produced a display of real energy, particularly in defence, which stymied Connachtâs best efforts, while Ian Madigan posted 22 points through his boot.
