Very good return, great spirit in the team both last week and this week from what I saw, despite 3 yellow cards and about 13 minutes of extra time, they Held on for a great victory. Great try and wonderful place kicking from the tee set them up well. The defensive effort was terrific at times. Leinster drew with Ulster tonight so no slam in the 20's.

I believe it finished Leinster, Connacht, Ulster and Munster in the league...... Well done

16-10 at full time. Well done lads. 2 out of 3 is a good campaign.

half time

16-3

4,45 already 7-0 after 1 min

So did this kick off at 3.00 or 4.45?
If it's 4.45 I might swing by for second half.

Connacht U20 head coach, Jimmy Duffy has named his side for their
concluding game in this year’s U20 Interpro series. After a narrow win
against Ulster last week Connacht go into this game looking for back to

not sure why anyone would post misinformation about an u 20s game.

Apparently they two yellows were for ex Roscrea lads Moloney and O'Brien, for roughing up Oisin Heffernan, their Roscrea team mate from last year, meaning they had to play with 13. Not sure how true the story is but....

Was at the game and seriously impressed by the lads, would have had Rory Maloney and Sean O'Hagan as my stand outs, after gifting Ulster a try in the first minute I thought it was going to be a hard day, but the first of O'Hagans two tries was simply superb, think he finished with a 22point haul out of the 27, serious scoring. Jacob Walshe got the other and played a great game. Maloneys ball carrying was just fantastic, strong at the breakdown, he secured great ball and gave the team real go forward. I like everything about this lad. Great team performance and it was a shame that they let Ulster in for the last try as 27-18 would have been a better reflection of Connachts second half dominance after being 5 points behind at half time and getting a man binned early in the second half, showed good character to get that win.

Well done to the Connacht lads after a tough outing last week. One bright spot in whats been a tough week for Connacht Rugby.

Good to see the next generation has some kick ass players coming through.

connacht 27 ulster 25

we were much the better team, ulster scored a late try 2 mins from time.
line out was good
scrum was great, push ulster of there own ball few time
12 Andrew McAleer and 8 SOB my man of the match with good kicking from sean o hagan, missed one, got 5?
McAleer is a powerful runner, went of injured and came on again.
we were the better side but few missed tackle made it a close game

very enjoyable in a heated sun! biggest crowd ive seen at an under 20's or even eagles game.

ps, were lucky we have SOB in the lineout because our lock, 5 shane boyle is massive. nobody could lift him, another ginger player

also flanker Rory Moloney was great

I was following the game on twitter by @furlo

Score finished Connacht 27 Ulster 25.

Anyone at this? Any result or feedback?

DONT FORGET IF YOUR AROUND TOWN

The U20s are in action against Ulster U20s tomorrow, 3pm in the Sportsground. Free entry for all.

Can someone post the team if they see it

From 6-6 at half time to shipping 40 points in 2nd half, sounds like something went wrong? Strange scoreline
