Ulster's young guns end losing streak with brilliant win in Galway

Richie Murphy’s men were fully deserving winners against Connacht.

A YOUNG ULSTER side dug deep to grind out a fully-deserved interpro win in Galway, a 10-point victory over Connacht ending a five-game losing streak for Richie Murphy’s side and marking their first win on the road of the season.

Connacht will be deeply disappointed to come away with nothing, with Pete Wilkins’ men paying the price for a slow start and inaccurate attacking performance. 

The home team only scored seven points on the night through Mack Hansen’s first-half try, converted by Jack Carty, while Eric O’Sullivan and Nick Timoney crossed either side of half-time for Ulster.

The visitors looked hungrier throughout, with Timoney and James McNabney both outstanding in the Ulster back row.
