Keatleys gets us underway at the sportsground

Good evening and welcome to UR's live coverage of Connacht vs Munster. An Irish derby that is always competitive, today should be no different with both teams fielding strong sides. Munster make a number of changes from the last day out, Paul O'Connell, Peter O'Mahony and Simon Zebo all returning to the starting 15. Connacht too see a host of big names returning, Robbie Henshaw, Kieran Marmion and Rodney Ah You all returning from recent knocks. Munster lie third in the Pro12 table, three points behind leaders Ospreys, while Connacht are sixth, currently seven adrift of the semi-final play-off places. Therefore a win tonight is a must for both sides. Stay with us for live updates.

Seriously wish RTE would start showing Guinness Pro 12 games again. TG4 is not HD on Saorview which is the main reason I want RTE to show them more. It would be fine if TG4 was HD though.

Ronaldson is 6"2 defensivly solid, and the best goal kicker weve had in years. He can run the channel over keatly with the forwards still near.

Yeah connacht by 6

Connacht by 6

As a normal team can, of course.

I just think that Munster have the stronger team to win this. After all, Munster are European giants and have the ability to beat anyone that comes there way, but they also can fail at doing this.

Need to win this one

New Year's Day demolition job by Munster here, comfortably winning this by 10+ points..
