Updated / Sunday, 27 Dec 2020 22:12 Nick Timoney beats John Porch to score Ulster's second try Ian Madigan helped himself to 22 points in Ulster's Guinness Pro14 derby win over Connacht as Dan McFarland's men recorded their first victory at the Sportsground in five years. Despite having 17 players unavailable for selection, Ulster prevailed to make it nine straight wins and extend their lead at the top of Conference A. Connacht notched tries through Jack Carty and John Porch during Kyle McCall’s sin-bin period, while three Madigan penalties had Ulster only 14-9 behind at the break. The visitors seized control with tries from player-of-the-match Jordi Murphy and Nick Timoney, and despite Tom Daly touching down in response, Madigan steered Ulster home with penalties after 65, 74 and 78 minutes.
