The province have found some form under new head coach Richie Murphy.
After a difficult season which saw the Dan McFarland era come to a premature end, the province have rallied impressively under new head coach Richie Murphy to squeeze into the URC play-offs.
Produce a similarly spirited display against Leinster this weekend, and Ulster could make life difficult for their hosts – who are under pressure to avoid a third straight season without a trophy.“ A free shot. It’s hard to win qualifying games when you go away from home,” Murphy said.“Obviously we’re not going that far, we’re going to the Aviva.
“When we run out of games, we run out of games. Win or lose, that’s the way it will be. If we start thinking about winning the whole thing we’re distracted and we’re taking away from what we need to do. What we need to do now is prepare to play Leinster and it’s going to be a very tough task.
