Late Williams try wins it for Ulster
PERHAPS it’s the greatest sign of Connacht’s development that this type of Guinness Pro12 loss can now be viewed as a bitter disappointment.
Ultimately Connacht left the Sportsground demoralised because Ulster were just too crafty eking out a win courtesy of a late Nick Williams try.
A healthy 5,876 crowd witnessed a curious game with the issue delicately poised right until the end as Ulster finished strongly.
Still the fact that Connacht suffered a first loss on Galway turf this season was a pity as Pat Lam’s charges felt they did enough to secure victory.
“We had chances, but most importantly of all Ulster came out with the win,” Lam reflected.
