    Ulster fairly relentless here but sloppy in parts.

    Two break downs in a row in at the side but got away with it.

    Cooney really setting the tone.

    Big fan of Cooney. He doesnt have the best pass in the world but has real mettle. makes good decisions and marshals the pack .

    Tough baptism at this level for Rea so far, he needs to learn fast or he'll be lucky to make the 2nd half.

    Started well enough. Addison is as smooth as silk. Hopefully he can get a run of games injury free.

    Great determination there to march Bath up to their 5m.

    Back three look indecisive and have been caught a few times on foot of poor or slow decision making.

    Cooney should have slotted that kick but he's been brilliant for Ulster, running the show despite a few notable errors.

    Marty Moore putting himself about.

    Cooney would want to wipe away that smirk lively, one of the worst kicks I've witnessed. Ulster fortunate to be in front at H/T.

    nearly as bad as Sextons v Wales in 2018

    Somebody I just find it very hard to listen to for some reason. Feels like he's too eager to fill gaps in between play and ends up stating the obvious or resorting to cliche with a forced delivery, similar to, though not as bad as Fitzgerald.

    Dont enjoy the dynamic of 3 commentators in general anyway, very hard to make it come across as natural. Reminds me of the terrible half time shows in the Nfl where there's 5 or 6 lads around a table each delivering their own sassy pitch.

    Fitzgerald is excruciating. Followed by D'Arcy, BOD and Shane Williams

    Heaslip offers a bit of insight at least.

    Luke Marshall has been impeccable in defence so far.

    Cooney has stones in them situations, there are TH props who pass the ball better when on the run than Luke Marshall.
