Ultimate Rugby Apr 4

Gloucester look the hungrier side this evening. Their back three have done tremendously well to neutralise Connacht's kicking game and they've been relentless with ball in hand. Possession, territory and the scoreline reflecting a dominant 40 minutes. James Hook really impressing tonight - he's been instrumental in both tries and has is orchestrating proceedings masterfully at outhalf. Connacht will need to get some early points in the second if they're to keep this game from running away on them.

Muldoon splits from the rear and feeds Marmion who fires it wide to Henshaw who grubbers forward. Sharples covers well but is quickly turned over. Looks promising for Connacht but the ball's lost forward moments later when Hibbard cuts McCartney low.
