About time

That's HT at the Sportsground. After bagging an early try it took some time before Ulster crossed the whitewash again. They'll be happy with a 17 point lead but will have to work to defend it in the 2nd half as Connacht will have the benefit of the wind in the 2nd 40.

Well done pienaar

Ulster find space again out wide as Jackson floats a well weighted pass out to Gilroy who makes no mistake from 15m

Iain Henderson is quickest to chase down a kick and charges down O'Halloran's clearance. Ulster on the attack again on the Connacht 22

Difficult kicks from the touchline, plus the wind at the Sportsground is crazy!

@Ben there's a fairly strong wind out there!

Again the wind prevent Connacht from kicking as they attempt to play from deep. Ulster regain possession following a handling error from Connacht. Ulster go wide straight to Bowe who beats Roux 1 on 1 to bag a try on his return

What is wrong with pienaar

Cave ignites an Ulster attack and breaks into the 22. With Ulster attacking 5m out Aly Muldowney gets over the ball and wins what could be a very important penalty
