That one is clear as day as Jennings stepped across McGrath before taking him out.

That's a yellow card and I don't think anyone in green can have too many complaints.

Luke McGrath looks to snipe down the blindside and he chips through.

He's met by a clattering challenge by Shane Jennings after he had kicked the ball and we're going to the TMO for a late hit.

Connacht have the ball on halfway and Mack Hansen gets his hands on it for the first time.

He makes a couple of metres, but Leinster manage to force the turnover once again.

It's great by Connacht who, not for the first time, manage to pinch the Leinster throw.

Leinster have it again in the visiting half, but Connacht win the penalty through Seamus Hurley-Langton.

It's another Leinster penalty, this time Dave Heffernan was holding onto the ball. Ross Byrne sends it deep into the 22.

We've another stoppage as Jack Conan receives some treatment, and he can't continue.

That's a blow for the big back row. He's had no luck with injuries.

Max Deegan is on in his place.

Oh dear, that's a wild kick by Ioane who doesn't even clear the 22 from his own five metre line.

It's a well-worked line-out and look to break through Paul Boyle, who manages to offload.

Leinster manage to steal the ball and Connacht swiftly give away the penalty.

Shane Jennings does really well to get his hands on the ball and RG Snyman is pinged for not rolling away.

That's great defence by the Connacht wing.

Connacht manage to clear but play is only brought up to just outside the 22.

Leinster have the throw and will look to come again!

It's great defence by Connacht at the set play as they force a knock on by RG Snyman.

Another scrum.

It's another Leinster penalty, this time for Finlay Bealham's infringement at the maul.

Into the corner it goes.

We're going to the TMO for a check on the collision that meant Gus McCarthy needed treatment.

Thankfully for Leinster and Ireland fans, McCarthy is free to continue.

Josh Ioane is the man who is penalised for a hit, but referee Busby says there isn't a high degree of danger and it's just a penalty.

There's a stoppage in play as Gus McCarthy receives some treatment for a knock.

Ulster head coach Richie Murphy is in the crowd in what could be a dual scouting missions for Saturday's game with Connacht, and also to see his son in action, who is scrum-half for the Galway side.

Jordie Barrett plays a stunning pass to centre partner Tector, who makes some more metres.

It's out wide to Gus McCarthy, but the hooker throws the ball into touch as he tries to offload.

It's another faulty set piece but Leinster are awarded the free-kick.

McGrath goes quickly, and the hosts make some decent ground through Jimmy O'Brien.

Yaay...another scrum.

This time on halfway after some strong Connacht counter-rucking.

Leinster are hammering the Connacht line in the first real passage of play.

The visitors are holding firm...and Bundee Aki manages to win a penalty! Huge from the Ireland centre.

The scrum goes down....again.

We're only eight minutes in, but I really hope Santa doesn't bring a scrum for Christmas. Getting sick of the sight of them already.

Leinster win the throw and Dennis Buckley is penalised for coming into the maul from the side.

It's going to be home ball just five metres out from the scrum.
