Apologies for the late posting of this one. We were involved in Six Nations action down in Dublin last weekend and I didn’t get watching this until yesterday! 

Despite Ulster scoring six tries this was far from a complete performance from Ulster Rugby. The late withdrawal of Marcell Coetzee brought back the old complacency and led to a substantial period with Zebre on top. However Ulster regrouped in the second half to claim the precious bonus point win. 

Ulster started brightly in the Parma sun going up 0 – 14 after early tries from Chris Henry and Ruan Pienaar, both converted by Pienaar, in the first fifteen minutes. However the complacency that has dogged their season soon became evident as Zebre staged a comeback.
