    Has anyone ever called Charles Piutau "Prince Charles"?

    Mark Robson seems to think that's what he is called in Belfast!

    Mark Robson thinks Sean Cronin is called "The Candyfloss Man" in Dublin

    Good defence from Ulster so far. Need to get the ball though. Choke tackle not working.

    He called someone the candyfloss man, but I think you're right about Cronin beaing The Sugarman

    Very lucky there, Madigan butchered that. A flat pass would have done it.

    That looks bad for Shanahan and he should have done better but Reidy and the scrum did him no favours there.

    Most of the responsibility. Wee Dave still should have done better.

    He has had a tough start. Three turnovers and 7 points have come from his errors I'm afraid.

    Not Shanahan's fault but it might hurt his confidence.

    Big balls on him to take that kick on after his start. Hopefully he'll settle down

    Yeah it was a good kick from Shanahan.

    And Ulster get good reward with a nice try.

    Great work from Henderson initially and Shanahan linked well with Paddy who puts Trimble in really well.

    Henderson has started well.

    Good to see him taking the lead with the referee as well.

    I'm pretty sure that if you paused the tell there and zoomed in, Doak was holding a piece of paper that said "Head Coach contract: 2017/2018" there

    Poor.

    Same as in France, he is holding them back a bit.

    That scrum was just brutal. Never mind the fact that it was 5m from their own try line.

    Is he injured or are they just shoring up the scrum?

    I presume it's a result of the scrum getting battered.

    In a surprise to nobody, Ulster's approach of not giving a young tighthead any game time at all and then expecting them to start in Europe has not paid off.
