Ben Murphy is on to replace Seb Davies after a big shift from the lock. 20-17 #GuinnessPRO14
Another big effort from the pack to keep patience and hammer on the Connacht door. Eventually it's Domachowski who powers over, as Morgan adds the extras. 20-17 #GuinnessPRO14
Jenkins was watching that tackle like a hawk and timed his challenge on the floor to perfection to win a crucial penalty. 20-10 #GuinnessPRO14
Dan Fish replaces Jason Tovey, who is forced off here after taking an (accidental) elbow to the head. 20-10 #GuinnessPRO14

Big boot by Matthew Morgan to clear the lines and find touch on halfway. 20-10 #GuinnessPRO14
John Porch dangerous on the counter, evading a couple of tackles and keeping the ball alive with the offload. Connacht increasing the pressure inside the 22, but Carty's final pass is forward. 20-10 #GuinnessPRO14
We're into the red here in Galway with Connacht in possession. Couple of very close calls in the breakdown, with Ellis Jenkins particularly close to nicking it, but once again it's Wootton who makes the difference to break from the 22 and slice through. 20-10 #GuinnessPRO14
Wootton comes off his wing and spots the mis-match in midfield. The wing takes full advantage to run in for a fine individual effort. 13-10 #GuinnessPRO14
Magic Matthew Morgan! Looked trap in his own corner but jinks past three defenders to run himself out of danger. 6-10 #GuinnessPRO14
Ellis Jenkins, who has been very energetic and very involved today, comes up with the strip in midfield but his offload is knocked forward by Carre. 6-10 #GuinnessPRO14
Heffernan concedes the penalty, and Tovey steps up to slot three from the tee. 6-10 #GuinnessPRO14
The likes of Turnbull, Belcher and Carre refusing to take a backwards step in the Connacht 22 here, but the home defence remain strong for the time. 6-7 #GuinnessPRO14
Aled Summerhill having very positive contributions with the ball in hand this evening. Head down and wins a few extra meters down the left. Connacht are penalised and Tovey sends it into touch on the 22m line. 6-7 #GuinnessPRO14
Connacht looking dangerous as they make yards down the middle and once again the visitors are penalised in the 22. Shane Lewis-Hughes comes in for the turnover, but skipper Turnbull is judged to have not rolled away. No mistakes from Carty from the tee. 6-7 #GuinnessPRO14
Lee-Lo's strip forces Heffernan to knock on in midfield. 3-7 #GuinnessPRO14
Big carry from Seb Davies, who charges through Jack Carty's challenge. 3-7 #GuinnessPRO14
Connacht with their first attack of the evening and they win a penalty in the shadow of the sticks as Carre is penalised for not rolling away. No problems from Irish international Jack Carty to provide an instant reply. 3-7 #GuinnessPRO14
Excellent, patience work from the pack who were banging on the door with a big carry from Ellis Jenkins coming close. They eventually powered over through Carre. Tovey's conversion takes him to 995 PRO14 points. 0-7 #GuinnessPRO14
We go down the blind and it's Aled Summerhill who pins his ears back, beating Wootton and Blade but his inside offload just evades Jenkins. However, the flanker does force a penalty as Connacht collected the loose ball and there's a huge opportunity here. 0-0 #GuinnessPRO14
Morgan and Summerhill looking dangerous down the left hand side, but they eventually run out of space and Aki drags the full back into touch. Once again Seb Davies nicks the line-out, however and forces a turnover. 0-0 #GuinnessPRO14
