early try for connacht after a delicious Carty dummy

Adolokun a possible bolter for Ireland this season? He's the fastest man in Irish rugby with a nose for the line, and has improved his skills/defence/bulk.

I think he's one of a number I'd say have moved ahead of Gilroy. He may well be worth a look if Trimble remains injured and Bowe doesn't come back well but he'd be my 3rd choice in that Connacht back 3.

connacht are up for this one..... 19-3 after 28 mins... 3 tries

Thought we might get a beating. Sooner or later Connacht were surely going to spark into life and a home interpro was a prime candidate.

22-8 at half time.... ulster second best so far

And the game's level!!!!!

great to see you here hellov. I'm trying to move into a house from our flat and all sorts of other stuff going on that's making my life rather stressful. Not helped by Ulster...

keep up the good fight, euge. we have a new arrival in our house so it's always interesting.

cracking game

Is that your first? I really can't remember. Brain frazzled.

See what I mean about Ulster keeping me stressed? Reckon there will be at least 2 more tries in this game. No clue by which side.

Glad to see Ah you leave. One off load aside he's been underwhelming. Lots of plodding about the pitch.

yeah, first.... winging it.

i never rated ah you, to be honest.

30-22

Been very impressed with the Shaolin Blade. Very sharp indeed. Comfortably the better of the 2 scrum halves.

Massively disappointed that we signed Ah you. Hoped Kiss had seen something special in training that i'd missed on the pitch. Doesn't look like it.

You may have missed it but we had our first 15 months ago. I'll let you into a secret. We all wing it!!

i'll keep it going then!

ludik looks hurt

there we go... connacht win 30-25

Thoroughly deserved. Lucky to get out with the losing bonus point. Scoring 25 points at the Sportsground is not to be sniffed at but you can't concede 30. Tackling was woeful and there's no unity in defence, possibly due to the ever changing cast out behind.

Really can't agree with you on Ah You. I thought he scrummaged and carried well. Couple of nice bits of handling. Very happy we got him.

Decided I don't really care about last night. Its all about a trophy at the end of the season. If we get to the end with a home semi-final and a fit line up, its on. If its not, its not.

Losing bonus point at the Sportsground is fine. Our play in the first half was not.

No, no it wasn't. But I imagine there'll be a few more halfs like that before the season's done, particularly when the big names go missing.

You fancy Ulster A vs London Scottish in Richmond on Saturday 22nd?

I definitely do fancy it, and it might be an opportunity to take junior to his first game. Problem is that I've just moved house and there's a change of focus in my job and a few other domestic issues. I'll look into the logistics.

Young soldier from 1 R IRISH has just been given a contract with London Scottish. Must get you to look out for him.

Looks like we've tuned in to the Bordeaux ploughing championships? And why are they playing Arsenal?

Yer making life awful difficult for yourselves here!

Thats looking better. Cracking try by Trimble. Shyte defence by Bordeaux, mind; I could probably have scored it.
