THE PREDICTION
Ulster were exceptional in Champions Cup wins away at Clermont Auvergne and at home, last weekend, to the Premiership’s Northampton Saints. Their 19-13 loss at Ospreys lst time out in the United Rugby Championship was an unfortunate blip that sees them chasing in third place ahead of this weekend’s fixtures but a 10-20 victory at Leinster before that blew the title race wide open. Travelling Connacht are improving steadily now after a troubling start to the new season, with a 36-11 victory in the reverse of this fixture back in October proof of what they are capable of. The visitors almost became the first side to beat Leicester Tigers last Sunday in a 29-23 defeat but four losses from four on the road so far this season suggests Ulster have the advantage here and they can cover a fairly cautious target of -5.
