    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.

    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.

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

    Mad miss alright, but Lyttle caught ball watching and completely lost where his man was.
    Twp Ulster defenders marking the same man who didn't even end up getting the ball.

    The level of praise for the try is ridiculous, it was shocking defending with no mitigating factors.

    Yes, a nice story and worthy of praise but why devalue it by going blatantly over the top with only a passing mention of the defending.

    What a tackle/dispossession from Stockdale.

    Looked like a certain try to win it for Bath.

    Cooney and Coetzee are the main men in that team

    The silence from the co-commentator was lovely at the end. Great ending.
