    Good stuff Ulster. Early score to get the scoreboard moving.

    I'm giving Addison the credit for throwing the ball at the Bath player before he got shoved into touch. :)

    Let off there for Ulster. That looked like a sitter.

    Stockdale caught out pretty bad there by the bounce

    Second time he's been caught by an unexpected bounce. His chip over the top bounced back over his head.

    That needs to be looked at, but Coetzee probably should have held onto that

    Yellow card and penalty sounds about right.

    Yeah that's fairly spot on, can't give a penalty try because you can't say for definite Coetzee would've gotten the pass away with Burns chasing him down from that side.

    TMO trying his hardest against the decision though to say Cooney changed his line

    Ridiculous anyway. He's entitled to run any line he likes. You're not entitled to tackle a player off the ball, regardless. Meanwhile Ulster make a bollocks of the lineout and Bath are off the hook. :(

    Tom O'Toole off so early is a strange call if not injured.

    He was really slow getting up from an earlier tackle so I am not convinced it was tactical.

    Ulster being uncharacteristically sloppy here. Need to sharpen up when in possession.

    Last couple of Ulster games I’ve been watching balacoune. Reckon that “suspect defence” call is wrong. Seems to defend fine to me so far. I’d say stockdale is more suspect tbh.

    Whatever was said in the dressing room at half time needs to be framed and used again and again

    This is more like the Ulster I was expecting. Coaches must have handed out a rollicking at half time.

    This is not a good place to have a scrum when it's creaking as badly as Ulster's is right now. :(

    Edit: Free kick. :D

    Stockdale's had a few stinkers mixed with some good, would have liked to see a solid performance ahead of the six nations

    Addison is class. I think Ireland should play him and larmour in the XV.

    I think Stockdale should be rightly worried to start the 6 nations (along with some other lads). He's not been great this game or the last few when I have whatched Ulster this season

    Ulster need to cut out the errors. From being in control and hunting the BP to being only 4 points ahead.
