12 points up with 10 to go should be an adequate margin to win.

Ulster A defeated Connacht A 33 points to 24 in stormy weather conditions in Enniskillen..read on for more information
Gary Longwell spoke to http://www.ulsterrugby.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; at final whistle and had this to say,
"I am just delighted, the game was played in very difficult conditions there was a gale force wind coming onto the pitch but despite that the boys played really good rugby.

They started off really well with scrum half Paul Marshall scoring a try in the corner in the 2nd minute and Paul McKenzie scored an excellent try moments later following on from some good counter attacking from Mark McCrea to give us a good lead.

We had a penalty try in the first half from a collapsed scrum and Roger Wilson drove over for a fourth try just before half time. Connacht scored once in the first half

In the second half the wind conditions favoured Connacht and they used this to score three tries in the second half but we didn’t give up and Paul Marshall scored a fantastic try in the second half”

Gary's Stand Out Players:

"Chris Henry played very well and got through an awful lot of work, Paul Marshall did really well scoring twice. Seamus Mallon came on for 20 minutes and put in some good defensive work and took a lot of big hits.

David McGregor, who is the Ulster Rugby Academy Hooker had a great game in very difficult wind conditions and showed plenty of guts and determination and the line outs worked really well for him”

The game really was a good work out for everybody involved”

2 points scored in the last ten minutes!!!????

You'd think if a try had just been scored, they'd have waited for the conversion before posting that earlier update?

[ColinM]

Good to see Marshall and Henry get a mention, they'll be important players next seasonwith Campbell and Best/Wilson/McMillen going

[Jackie Brown]

Poor Davy, will we see him in a white shirt again?

[bootlace]

It's just nice to see the momentum continuing in relation to winning, the Whole Ulster camp must be smiling with an extra spring in the step.

How did Dewey get on, any sign of past form returning?
