Ulster Rugby vs Leicester Tigers

25 / 66

23 ULSTERRUGBY
5 v SARACENS
ERC QUARTER FINAL 05/04/14
(KINGSPAN STADIUM) LOST 15-17
Obviously this game ended up being a massive
disappointment, but to play in front of 18,000 Ulster
fans for the first ERC Quarter Final in 14 years
was just a fantastic occasion. It was also my 27th
birthday.
6 v LEICESTER
ERC R5 14/01/12
(KINGSPAN STADIUM) WON 41-7
I went off injured after an hour in this game but
having sang “swing low” at Martin Johnson and co.
from the stands ten or so years previously, and then
to be involved in a repeat performance and result
on the field, and also experience the repeat singing
performance from the crowd was special.
7 v LEICESTER
ERC R6 18/01/14 (WELFORD ROAD)
WON 19-22
Winning all 6 pool matches and confirming
a home Quarter Final after a win at a special
place like Welford Road.
8 v LEINSTER
PRO12 FINAL 25/05/13 (RDS) LOST 24-18
Despite losing there a few times, the RDS is probably
my favourite away ground to play at. There is a great
rivalry between the teams and they have a great
crowd combined with our ever-reliable travelling
support. As it was a final the ticket allocation was
50/50 and the atmosphere was electric.
9 v EDINBURGH
ERC SEMI FINAL 28/04/12
(AVIVA STADIUM) WON 22-19
Not our greatest performance but it was my
first game at the Aviva Stadium and the crowd
of 40,000 Ulster fans was brilliant.
10 v BATH
ERC R6 23/01/10 (THE REC)
WON 10-28
We were very unlucky not to qualify from our pool
after this game. It will be remembered by most for
Trimble’s try (and dodgy haircut) but I will remember
getting a try myself after some fantastic work from
Simon Danielli and being part of the first Ulster team
to win on English soil.
