I was in and out of this but it's a huge step for Connacht, they played very smartly for a lot of this game. Lancaster will be happy. Ulster were on such a roll so no mean fit to come to Belfast and turn them over.

Bundee and Stockdale going at each other at the end!!

Great result for Connacht. Deserved the win on the 2nd half performance. After third try clock didn't start for a full minute ref must have forgotten to say restart, could have cost Connacht.

Great performance by Connacht. Well deserved win. As an aside, I can see why Zac Ward is not considered international quality, yet.

Nearly tackled into touch a couple of times. His strength is great but hes not going to run over opposition wingers at test levels so needs to learn when to come back in field and recycle

Great win. In isolation it is always good to beat another province, but also in terms of getting to the top 8.

That's a nice few weeks for Connacht. Beating Glasgow and now Ulster, the first and second placed teams in the league, as well as Scarlets. Home to Ospreys next week is a big game for them as after that they've the SA tour, Munster (h), and Edinburgh (a). So some tough games to come.

He was tackled into touch three times within the space of 5 min last week. You'd think he would have learned from that.

Well IMHO the officiating was really good last night. Didn't really notice the ref at all. Let the game flow and asserted his authority when needed. He was excellent.
