STEVE BORTHWICK’S NOTES

Head coach Steve Borthwick FROM THE TOUCHLINE

“Every game is of real importance to us and an opportunity to get better. We started behind the other teams and we need to keep working exceptionally hard to get better and to be competitive.

Ulster are an exceptional team packed with internationals and they have been challenging near the top of the PRO14 for a while. They were in the Champions Cup this season which shows the calibre of the team and the players they have. That is a great challenge and it is one we are looking forward to. We will find out more about ourselves this week.”
