Humphreys salutes unsung heroes

Ulster 27 Edinburgh 21

Humphreys declared after the triumph over Edinburgh: "The real men who mattered were the ones who laid the platform for success while some of the frontliners and I were in Australia for the World Cup.

"These guys who came in and played out of their skins to get us here we were the lucky ones who came back and stole the limelight. We are indebted to the efforts of these lads and they deserve the plaudits every bit as much as us if not more."
