Ulster's Nick Williams is battling to be fit for Friday's big Heineken Cup opener

Ulster in great shape for tilt at Heineken Cup glory

There's nothing quite like European rugby. It provided one of the greatest of all Ulster sporting memories in 1999 and the past two seasons, coupled with the victories of the last six weeks, have Ulster supporters salivating.

Tyrone Howe: Leinster looking good, while rivals Munster can bounce back

Thursday, 11 October 2012

It was exactly as expected — as competitive as any previous match between the two. The Leinster v Munster derby produced a cracker and may once again provide the catalyst for Leinster to march through their Heineken qualifying group.

Tyrone Howe: Star man Williams will weave more magic for Ulster

Thursday, 13 September 2012

Two wins from two games and an away victory over the champions — not too shabby a start from our boys. It wasn’t particularly pretty, but the job got done and Ulster proved difficult to beat, displaying a tough edge, sumptuous skill for Paul Marshall’s try, and a collective belief to stay in the game and not simply settle for a bonus point.

Tyrone Howe: Destiny calling for Ulster's band of brothers

Thursday, 10 May 2012

The drama of Ulster’s Heineken Cup success was slightly muted by the defeat to Munster at the weekend and exit from the RaboDirect Pro12 playoffs. The size of the crowd at Thomond Park was indicative of the anti-climax of the occasion — based on the assumption that Munster would inflict a sizeable defeat on Ulster.
