This should be a cracker. Ulster won't be as bad as last week and will absolutely need a reaction. Connacht similarly will wan't to fire a few shots having struggled to build a platform last week.

Expecting a tight game but think Ulster will win at home. Connacht pack seem a bit lacking and won't punish Ulster the way Munster did.

Very much looking forward to this!

If Ulster are 50% better than last week they will still loose.....heavily!

Just googled Angus Curtis as have not heard of him.
Class story...
THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT the Curtis family that can’t keep them away from Ireland, even though they have made their home 13,000km away in Zimbabwe.

19-year-old Angus Curtis is the latest in his bloodline to represent Ireland, following in the footsteps of his father, David, and his grandfather, Arthur Bryan – both of whom played in the green jersey at senior level.

Just checked out the Ireland v Zimbabwe 1991 game as i can vividly remember Brian Robinson crashing over for a few tries. He got 4!!
Dont remember David Curtis!

Best, Henderson and Coetzee are probably the only three who’d start for Connacht if they’re fully match fully fit. And I’d have huge questions about all three of their fitness levels tonight.

I think so too. Said it a few days ago on the Connacht thread. This is as good a chance they can hope for given Ulsters injury list

Oh I agree, I just don't think they'll bully Ulster into submission the way Munster did. There was no contest between the packs last week, I think Ulster won't be under the same kind of pressure this week and that will allow for more of a contest.

My biggest fear is that we get well beaten and still have to read Ulster posters moaning. A truly nightmarish scenario for any reader.

awec

Marmion done already.

Burkie1203

Crowd is awful

Squidgy Black

Marmion walked off fairly easily so hopefully isn't anything major
