A good effort from Jackson but it was difficult with the wind blowing hard here and his effort sails wide

Ulster use their forwards to plug away at the Connacht defence, Marshall then takes the ball and throws a skip pass to Gilroy who breezes over in the corner

So Connacht are using the Pro12 as their pre-season, as they didn't have one, so they are in perfect condition at the start of the Champions Cup. They'll probably win that this season!

Ulster get up to win the lineout, they're looking to use their big forwards here

Cmon ulster!

Ulster kick to the corner yet again

Carey is sent to the bin for side entry on the Connacht try line

Jackson kicks to the corner once more, Ulster roll their maul again

Another penalty to Ulster as Connacht play the ball when they're off their feet, last warning for the Connacht players here

Rory Best takes the ball and sets up another maul, Ulster making good ground here
