Connacht face Ulster at Dexcon Park – or the Sportsground in old money – in tonight’s United Rugby Championship clash. 

It’s been a miserable start to the season for both Irish sides, with both teams tied on 18 points after eight rounds of fixtures. Connacht are just head of Ulster in 12th spot on points difference. 

Both teams suffered defeat to Interprovincial rivals last weekend, with Connacht going down 20-12 to Leinster and Ulster losing 22-19 to Munster. If Ulster lose tonight, it will be their sixth defeat in-a-row.

Tonight’s match in Galway kicks-off at 7.35pm.
