RICHIE MURPHY IDENTIFIED Ulster ’s inability to go the distance against Bordeaux-Begles as being fundamental to the province’s 40-19 home defeat in round two of the European Champions Cup.
“In order to be able play against these types of teams, you have to last 80 minutes and at the moment, we’re not quite able to do that,” said Murphy after Ulster had fallen to their second heavy defeat to French sides, Toulouse having hammered them 61-21 last weekend. “In order for us beat these types of teams”, Murphy said of Bordeaux and Toulouse, “we have to play to the right space all the time. You get it wrong, you run into massive bodies and they slow you down and it becomes very difficult to regenerate quick ball.”
Ulster have slipped to 10th in the league table having lost to Cardiff and Leinster prior to the opening European rounds which have now brought two more reversals.
