Vickery rallies troops for Ulster clash

PHIL Vickery last night rallied Gloucester for their make-or-break Heineken Cup mission against Ulster, and vowed: “We will hit them with everything we’ve got.”

Gloucester must collect at least a point from the Belfast clash, or they cannot win Pool 6 if rivals Stade Francais get a maximum five points in Paris against Cardiff Blues tonight.

Gloucester’s degree of difficulty is intensified by the daunting statistic that Ulster have won 11 successive Heineken Cup games at Ravenhill, their scalps including Stade (twice), Wasps, Leicester and Biarritz.
