Supporters can make all the difference as Connacht host Ulster on Saturday
After their most successful start to the season, Connacht return to the Galway Sportsground on Saturday (7.30pm) to face Ulster in the first interprovincial of the season. Traditionally Connacht’s closest rivals for Ireland’s third Heineken Cup place, Ulster come west after three wins on the trot and having spent big over the summer in recruitment.

We would always fancy our chances at home and hopefully history will change itself on Saturday.”
