    Very disorganised performance from Ulster, and they gave away way too many penalties.

    Best team won, fair play to Connacht.

    Ulster, away and have a word with yourselves. Disgraceful for most of that mtach.

    Ulster really do have a mediocre pack.

    Will never win anything because of it.

    Is Henderson injured? Had a quiet night and really struggled to make an impact, Best also - bit anonymous.

    Some positives for both sides, good to see Connacht get that spark back.

    Aki got through a mountain of hard work at the breakdown. Big improvement from him.

    Ulster couldn't stop shooting themselves in the foot in that one. How many times did they get into a scoring position only to cough up silly penalties? Some of their tackling was embarrassing as well. Ulster pack was pretty average. Definitely confirms for me that the recruitment of Piutau ahead of a quality forward was stupid business.

    Someone who was offered a central contract to stay in his adoptive province, just like Aki next year! :)

    Well done Connacht. Best team won. That said you were playing a largely AIL quality pack.

    Also saying a forward pass should have been referred to the TMO for foul play.

    After their respective performances you would have to have Dillane ahead of Henderson at the moment.

    apparently this payne guy scored (just bet on a whim with him) so I ended up the right side of things. toh was an utter disappointment to my financial gain. otherwise a feckin good fullback. just wish he scored tries rather than setting everybody else up for touch downs. it was a big question about the game as if it would be payne or toh for Ireland at fullback. that was sorted tonight. payne is a centre

    Provincial form is irrelevant apparently.

    Blade, Heffernan and the all of the back 3 were huge tonight. Delighted with the win. Can't help but wonder why Kiss decided to rest Pienaar tonight, Marshall was pretty poor. Fingers crossed he's vindicated with a good start to Europe over the next 2 weeks.

    Can't agree! Henderson may of been quiet but he put himself about and put in a massive defensive shift.
    Dillane was on the wing for most of the match.

    Payne is the best full.back in the country as evidenced by his displays against South Africa. Isn't in too form right now by the looks of it. ToH is a very capable understudy. Unless Kearney hits too fork right away he really shouldn't be in the 23 for the November internationals.

    Yup, Henderson has delivered at international level and that counts for a lot.

    But I really thought he had a very poor game tonight to the point that I wonder is he carrying a knock.

    Who could have predicted, with their barely average opening 3 games, that Blade, Heffernan and Kelleher would be the standout players of a quite high-standard game???

    7 tries , BP win for my team, and I can't help but remember AhYou making a one hand pass after breaking the tackles. Sparkle of genious from nowhere when you're used to watch "no hands" Rodney

    Great game to watch. Very impressed with Blade tonight. Great passing and always asking questions of the fringe defence.

    The connacht players' handling skills are superb and their style of play is a joy to watch. The outhalves hardly kicked the ball.

    That Ulster pack are going to really struggle this year. Very poor tonight. Poor recruitment could end their season early. I can't see that pack going far in Europe.
