Stephen Ferris claims Ulster are "in a hole" at present - and one that will deepen before Christmas as he predicts Connacht will beat Dan McFarland's men at the Sportsground on Friday.
Ulster looked to have turned things around with their second half performance against Champions Cup holders La Rochelle on Saturday, fighting back from being held scoreless in the first half to earn two losing bonus points against Ronan O'Gara's side.
But former Ravenhill favourite Ferris insists that the game was well and truly put to bed by half-time and that his former club's problems remain as they seek to avoid a fourth win in a row.
