‘We needed a fresh face, and he’s come in and made a good impression on everybody.’

ULSTER AND IRELAND centre Stuart McCloskey believes that Ulster are now moving forward, helped by the arrival of Richie Murphy.“We needed a fresh face,” McCloskey said ahead of tonight’s interpro with Leinster at the Kingspan Stadium, “and he’s come in and made a good impression on everybody.”

“I know myself that if I get my hands on the ball as much as I can good things can happen, so I’ve done that the last couple of weeks especially. “So, I think I’m back in my stride now and moving in the right direction,” added the 17-times capped Ireland player who lines out tonight as the hosts bid to achieve a double success over Leo Cullen’s side in this campaign.

His recent Twitter spat with Stephen Ferris when the former player compared the current side with that of a decade ago was also addressed.
