PRO12: Teams up for Connacht v Ulster

by

The teams are up for tomorrow’s PRO12 and inter-provincial clash between Connacht and Ulster at the Sportsground, Galway, kick off 7:35 pm. Live on BBCNI. 

Both teams have extensive injury lists and a week ago I’d have been confident of a substantial win for Ulster, but looking at the team lists below, in black and white, I’m now not so sure. 

Ah, who am I kidding! it should still be a comfortable win for Ulster though I’m still not 100% convinced what way it will go in the all important front five. 

In the front row we’ve two ex Ulster Academy props in Finlay Bealham and Conor Carey up against the ex Connacht prop Rodney Ah You and, probably the most underrated prop in Ireland, Callum Black. Ah You has been working hard on his fitness and has improved considerably in his last two outings and should be keen to make an impression on his old hunting ground and with Rory Best in the middle Ulster should edge the front row . . .
