Accuracy a problem for Ulster - McFarlandpublished at 15:00 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023
Sat: Bath 37-14 Ulster
Ulster head coach Dan McFarland bemoaned his side's lack of accuracy after they fell to a heavy loss to Bath in their Investec Champions Cup opener.
The Irish province led 14-8 at the break at the Rec after Billy Burns and Nathan Doak tries.
However, Ulster failed to score in the second half as the Premiership side pulled clear to seal a bonus-point win.
"I think it's the accuracy," McFarland said when asked why Ulster have let leads slip in their last three games.
"We put ourselves in a good position, we had lots of opportunities there. The effort, the physicality, intensity and urgency with which we played was really good.
"But if you make mistakes and give the opposition opportunities then you're always going to be in trouble. Bath were pretty clinical when they got their chances in the second half."
