    I'm getting teary eyed over Rory running out with his kids.

    The TV director is more interested in replays than the live action.

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

    Not at Jackson's level but getting better and doing well now

    Hopefully Henderson is ok here

    Coetzee has been immense so far.

    Have a bit of that.

    Ulster eating them up so far.

    Baloucoune is such a great defender in that sort of situation. I am fully prepared to campaign for him to be called up to Ireland in the same way Connacht fans did for Healy and O'Halloran

    Am I alone in thinking the ref was in a terrible position for the play where the Connacht hooker was held up? There was all sorts of infringement going on there, not sure why he was behind the ruck over the try line - rely on TMO if its grounding you're worrying about.

    Nonetheless some super defence by Ulster there, they're good for the 8 point lead so far.

    His positioning is quite unusual generally, often getting in the way.

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

    Looks like Bundee threw a punch.

    Burns was ducking and turning. Just a pen I think.

    Is the sound messy for anyone else?

    I’d think yellow. No issue with a pen

    Sounds like there's another station using the same frequency sometimes right? Or a weird almost dubbing effect

    Just about barely a penalty at most.

    Never a yellow, only a penalty. Dominant tackle on Burns as he was falling.

    Feel it’s a harsh penalty at that

    Penalty is about right there given the focus on player welfare, its certainly no Owen Farrell NFL attempt though.

    Feel it’s unlucky but not necessarily harsh if that makes sense

    Pretend you're an Ulster player by deliberately fcuking up every single line out you receive.

    Agreed. The one eyed commentator is embarrassing suggesting the citing commissioner will be involved.

    Been a good watch this. Ulster playing well and in apparent control but Connacht look so dangerous on loose ball. Cartys passing has been brilliant
