“I’m not going to talk for the sake of talking, I don’t like talking to people really. But if I have something to say, I have to say it or else you are letting other people down and letting yourself down. Garry Ringrose tore them apart with a wonderful individual display. The pack never got a foothold after they lost an early line-out in the second-half. Two yellow cards almost simultaneously killed any sliver of momentum they had left.
“We have shown plenty of times this year how good we are, it doesn’t change in 25 minutes of rugby,” counters O’Connor. With only four pool games, Ulster know they can ill-afford any slip-ups if they want to secure home seeding for the knockouts, and a defeat in their first outing would leave them backed into a corner before they’ve even faced defending European champions La Rochelle.
