    I'd say you're all being a bit generous to Bundee. He hit Burns on the chin with his shoulder, which is part of the head.

    Who are the two Ulster lads on commentary. Surely eir could have got someone neutral in or even balance it with someone from connacht. It's embarrassing listening to it when you consider it's two Irish teams playing

    Looked to me like Burns saw Aki late, that he was in the crosshairs for a big hit and ducked his head, not sure what Aki could do in the situation.

    I think its a YC at least. He shouldered a guy in the head.

    Look at Cipriani red in October and subsequent ban

    Mark Robson would be in grevious danger if an ex Connacht player was in the commentary box with him.

    He is PAINFUL!

    Connacht are just a bit flat today and I think it's stemming from marmion being a little off match pace

    Circumstances aside, losing Jackson has been huge for Ulster, Burns just isn't at the same level.

    Burns first season, has moved to a new country etc etc

    Hardly fair to judge him yet. Will see how he gets on next season

    Hendersons pivot in contact is great for making ground.

    Between knock ons, missed tackles, hospital passes and a sh*t show of a line out well Ulster look like they're back to their old habits.

    Seems like an awful nasty atmosphere at Ravenhill. Seems like the soccer crowd are going to all our games (including my own crowd Munster)

    Can you not be a soccer fan and a rugby one? Ridiculous comment.

    Great game to watch. The Pro14 is missing a trick by having so many shadow squad interpros in the regular season.

    Bundee applauding the boos as he went off was a funny moment. He'll be missed on the pitch though.

    He always seems to make a couple of metres in contact minimum. Always go forward with him. Paddy Wallace said it in commentary that his 2/3 up the middle is as good as 5 out wide, which I'd agree with.

    Cracking game!

    Can see why TOH only has single digit Ireland caps, been pretty poor under the high ball today. You'd be massacred at International level doing that.

    It's a penalty connacht. Once a player from either side is there it's a ruck. Been that way since the italy England rules changes

    Connacht’s ruck protection has been very poor. Allowed some very basic turnovers.

    Which Ulster player was part of the ruck? It wasn't mccloskey since he was the tackler and then rolled away no?
