Ulster kick off the first of the Irish derbies this weekend with a victory. They thoroughly deserved their win tonight as they dominated the vast majority of the 80 minutes. Connacht will be dissappointed with their peformance tonight and to have picked up a few more injuries to add to their already injury-plagued roster. Pat Lam may have to dip further into his Academy to field a team in the coming weeks.
