EXPERIENCED ULSTER LOCK Alan O’Connor has laid it on the line for the struggling province as they now battle to rescue their season by securing a play-off spot in the URC.
“We’re looking for maximum points in every game we play, so a good way to start it off is now with the next games in Kingspan,” he said ahead of Friday’s clash with 12th-placed Cardiff and next week’s home meeting against Benetton. With Ulster having registered just two wins from their last eight outings – which include games in the Champions Cup, Challenge Cup and the URC – there is an immediate need to rediscover some form for interim coach Richie Murphy’s squad.

Henderson’s return a timely boost for Ulster in advance of Montpellier clashCaptain and lock, Iain Henderson, returns to the starting line-up for Ulster ahead of their match against Montpellier. Ulster will need to step up their game to progress, as Montpellier lost by only two points to league leaders Stade Français. The team is working on transitioning their style and standards under Murphy, and one challenge is how to move Stockdale from the bench to a starting position. Despite confirmation of his return to South Africa, Steven Kitshoff will start in the Ulster front row, and Nathan Doak and John Cooney are chosen at outhalf and number nine respectively.
