Ulster Rugby vs Zebra

especially in Europe away to a big club like Bath, is really special. “To get the win was a big effort and it will hold long in the memory for me. I’m going to keep working hard and hopefully get game time, but selection is never guaranteed so I’ll just take any opportunity I can with both hands.” The young centre / fly-half is now looking ahead to an arguably tougher test against French giants ASM Clermont Auvergne, and he’s under no illusion about how much of a challenge they will pose. “After the Bath game, we spoke about holding onto the ball because whenever we do, we give ourselves opportunities. We just need to be a bit more clinical, take those chances and finish them. You don’t get a lot of openings against good teams, so when we do get our chances to put ourselves in a better position, we need to take them. “Clermont have some really strong runners; their back row, back three and midfield are excellent so it’s going to be another massive defensive effort again. The squad as a whole is looking forward to it and Jared Payne (Ulster’s Defence Coach) is excited, I’m sure. There are a lot of opportunities we can go after them with; we’re going to work on those this week and do the same again on Friday.”
