    Are Ulster going really well or are the Scarlets just a bit sh*t now?

    The Scarlets are a bit sh*t.

    So scrappy.

    Best and Henderson need to be taking advantage of those situations.

    Lovely line. Ulster look comfortable. Scarlets making lots of unforced errors

    Addison is the signing of the season by any province.

    I've re-watched Addison's try about 4 times now and I still cant figure out how Scarlets failed to tackle him.

    It looks like Ulster signed the better Sale Shark! Haley has been solid but he's not at Addison's level.

    LOL I haven't seen a slapback to stop a try in ages. Great stuff from Cooney.

    Treadwell looking more like the guy who featured during the 2016/17 season. Really having a tidy game.

    Jesus Christ. Scarlets are absolute butchers. Utterly incompetent. Where is the team of the past 2 years?

    The throwing from Best is poor all game, or is it the lineout malfunction?

    Was about to say Scarlets absolutely butchered an overlap then realised it was a prop and a hooker out on the wing!

    And Cooney the signing of the season before that. Few canny hires by Ulster.

    Not even a discussion. Addison had a bad time with injury on and off over a few seasons otherwise I don't think he'd be in Belfast and would have a few England caps.

    Haley is a decent signing who gives it his all, similar to Ludik but he doesn't have the class of Addison.

    Two forwards left him to one another. Poor defending, great line.

    I've seen at least 3 offloads go forward tonight. Ref not picking them up as the ball isn't traveling far

    I wouldn't have Cooney in the same bracket at all, to be honest. Ulster needed a solid scrum half and he is that. Addison looks a test level player straight off the shelf.

    The Scarlets didn't even try to put a fraction of pressure on Cooney for his box kick there. They've checked out. They don't want to be out there.

    Ulster need to pin them back and they'll get the 4th try. Don't try and play stupid rugby.

    I was more making the point that Cooney was a very good signing for Ulster, considering the difficulty of replacing a highly experience club stalwart like Pienaar.

    McNicholl is a quality player, welsh eligible end of next season I think? Be a good addition for them

    Brilliant.

    Top class clear out from Moore two phases before to save the turnover. Cooney was lucky. That no look spin pass was suicidal.

    Also fortunate the TMO couldn't look at Timoney in touch potentially.

    I think the Scarlets have to be taken into account. They have been brutal.

    Ulster have had some lovely play though and really taken their opportunities when they came.

    Coetze and Stockdale on my fantasy team so thanks Ulster!

    There have been a few spills and knock on's, but the stats won't tell the full story here at all - the sheer number of passes that have not gone to hand for both teams is astonishing at this level. Possession has been retained ultimately but Scarlets in particular have forgotten their basic skills.
