Ulster Rugby v London Wasps

What are the goals for this season both for you and for the team? The goal for us is to win something this year. I think last year we started well, fizzled out a little bit and then towards the end of the season we started to play well again. This year, we just need consistency and a strong team mentality from the outset to keep each other going and pushing and winning games. For me, I would like to get back into the Ireland set-up, but you are only as good as your last game so I need to get off to a good start with Ulster. We take on Wasps at home in a pre-season match and then the first Championship game in the new PRO14 we are at home to the Cheetahs, are you looking forward to getting back out in front of the Kingspan Stadium crowd? Yes, I can't wait. That buzz you get from playing in front of a big crowd, especially at Kingspan, is something you can't replicate anywhere else, it's going to be tough against a skillful English side and also the Cheetahs

will bring a different edge to the game. We are all really looking forward to the season starting.
