Having been the top of the RaboDirect Pro12, LEading The Heineken Cup Race & Ranked the No1 Club In Europe for eth first time in our history! What a position to be in even with an unbelievable injury list to still be joint second in the Rabo and in the HC 1/4 Final, what an awesome experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The dogged persistance and never give an inch spirit vitalises all aspects of play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Momentum builds now towards the final stages of the season as Ireland duty and a injury recovered players return in force to the Ulster squad. As with all the games since Christmas the guys have been superb and played with various guys injured and yet still break down defences again and again and have been absolutely superb in their resolute determination. The sublime kick from Jared Payne and the Lions class finish by Trimble just one of the highlights of a superb game.
