Thoughts on Ulster v Glasgow and Munster

"It was a tough night, and a tough ask, Munster are always a hard side to beat so we were pleased to have come through with three scores, it was a good start for the first of three really important games in 10 days. It was tough out there when Munster got on top but the support of the fans really helped us through. I thought last night was the loudest we have heard the crowd all season and there was such a buzz around the ground.

Mike Gibson and Paddy Johns have both spoken to us this season about how mentally Ravenhill is our home and how we have to defend the try line like we are defending our home; it made such a difference to us last night when we were defending our line to hear the roar from the crowd. When we were driving Munster back and the crowd started chanting "Ulster Ulster Ulster" - it lifted us and we spoke about it afterwards how it made the difference.

There is a really quick turn around to Glasgow on Saturday so we have spent this morning in recovery working with Phil and GG on any problem areas and we will have a light Captains Run tomorrow then play on Saturday.

Glasgow are a good solid side and have done extremely well this season, we are coming to the end of a really hard season, but, on Saturday it is about Ulster playing at Ravenhill. We need a good performance to propel us forward in the league to ensure Heineken Cup rugby for next season. Also, for the players who are heading off to pastures new, we want to send them off in a positive frame of mind. Finally, we want and need to thank our supporters for sticking with us this season."
