Ulster v Bath

That's going to rile up the crowd.

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

Stockdale caught out pretty bad there by the bounce

Criminal.

That needs to be looked at

Absolutley, card coming.

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.

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.

Nice try against some awful bath decision making.

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

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.

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.

Hilarious if this is given

There's absolutely no way in hell that pass from Marshall was flat, the Cooney one actually looked borderline in fairness

Ulster really struggling in the scrum.

That is woeful stuff, I know we talk about the speed of the game and smaller players on front rowers and dipping etc, but he made absolutely no effort to bend there

Won't be a red IMO.

Stonewall if the ref and TMO have any common sense. Shoulder directly to the head with no mitigating factors as Cooney wasn't even dipping really.

Far too much faffing about, that was a red, no need for discussion about it.

Yeah, knew it was red the minute I saw it. TMO seems to be a pedantic git.

What would BP do for Ulster chance of easier draw for QF?

I don't think it can do much now seeing as Clermont have topped the group, they'll get top runner up with 4 points as it is

Addison has to start for Ireland. Has so much more intelligence than Larmour, which you need at FB.

Stockdale is like the centipede that was wonderfully co-ordinated until somebody told it it had 100 legs and it started to think about it and trip all over the place.

He has lost that spontaneity that gave him an edge at the key moment. Thinking too much maybe. If he makes the team it will only be on his potential not his form imo.
