Ulster captain Iain Henderson says the side are “by no means the finished article” after their 21-14 victory over Cardiff in the United Rugby Championship.<\/p>\n
The Irish province led 14-0 at the break thanks to Scott Wilson’s try and Angus Bell’s superb score, but Cardiff attempted to stage a second-half comeback and scored two tries.<\/p>\n
The result means that Ulster leapfrog Matt Sherratt’s side up to fourth in the URC table and they have now lost just one of their last six games.<\/p>\n
“I have been saying it all year, we knew things were bubbling in the last 18 months or so,” Henderson said.<\/p>\n
“Last week’s game and this week’s game shows that we are by no means the finished article, we have loads to work on.<\/p>\n
“Fair play to the coaching staff and what they have brought our squad from last season to pre-season and to the start of this season.”<\/p>\n
Eight players from Richie Murphy’s side are missing due to Ireland call-ups. However, the side scored three well-worked tries with Angus Bell registering a superb solo effort.<\/p>\n
Ulster will return to URC action after the Six Nations with a trip to Wales to face seventh place Ospreys.<\/p>\n
“That was awesome. What a night at the Affidea Stadium,” Player of the Match Matthew Dalton added.<\/p>\n
“It can’t get better than that.<\/p>\n
“We are sitting in a great position going into the next block.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ulster captain Iain Henderson says the side are “by no means the finished article” after their 21-14 victory…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":450676,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85],"class_list":["post-450675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-rugby","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=450675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450675\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/450676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
