Ulster head coach Dan McFarland says it was difficult to watch Champions Cup quarter-finals and semi-finals after his side’s loss.

Ulster head coach Dan McFarland. Image: Morgan Treacy/INPHO Ulster head coach Dan McFarland. Image: Morgan Treacy/INPHO DAN McFARLAND FOUND himself a rather disgruntled spectator last weekend as he sat down to watch Leinster take on Toulouse in the semi-finals of the Heineken Champions Cup. In an ideal world, he would have been coaching at the Aviva Stadium instead.

Rather than being involved over the last couple of weeks, Ulster have instead had some time off to rest and reflect on where their season is at, namely the fact that their United Rugby Championship quarter-final destiny lies in their own hands this weekend when they welcome the Cell C Sharks to Kingspan Stadium.

The foundations worked well at the DAM Health Stadium as Ulster became the first away side to triumph at Edinburgh’s new home last time out, an outstanding defensive performance providing the backbone to a gutsy 16-10 triumph that reinvigorated their home quarter-final hopes.
