Connacht Vs Ulster Gives Us A Glorious Example Of A Scrum-Half Destroying A Flanker

Connacht Vs Ulster Gives Us A Glorious Example Of A Scrum-Half Destroying A Flanker

Ulster's Robbie Diack is 6ft 5 and over 17 stone. Kieran Marmion is 5 ft 10 and somewhere in the region of 13 stone. The Connacht man may not be at Peter Stringer levels of little man syndrome (in the best way possible), but in this case, he might as well be the man himself.

The Pro12 clash in Galway was intriguing if unspectacular. Ulster came away with a 10-3 win thanks to a late try under the posts but Connacht's incredible organisation was there for all to see. The highlight reel will be rather short in terms of scores but that's scant price to pay for a highlight reel that includes this glorious bit of table turning from Marmion.

It doesn't matter how big they may be, if you get your timing and your technique spot on, this is the only way things can go. Incredibly satisfying viewing.

Thankfully for the Connacht man, Joe Schmidt was in attendance and that tackle can only do his Six Nations hopes the world of good. Ulster may have come away with the all important win but we're giving moral victory of the evening to Marmion and that's just as important (it's not but he needs to be rewarded with something).
