Humphreys fights to make Ulster farewell

RUGBY legend David Humphreys is battling to be fit for his final game with Ulster at Ravenhill tomorrow night.

Humphreys is troubled by an Achilles tendon injury but coach Matt Williams hopes the out-half can play some role in the final Magners League game of the season against Cardiff.

Said Williams: “David is an iconic figure in Ulster and Irish rugby. I hope he gets out on Friday night and hope the people of Ulster turn up to say thank-you for a remarkable career. At the minute it is in his own hands. If the Achilles problem recovers sufficiently enough by today, then he will start. He will not appear as a cameo just to wave to the crowd. I intend to play him for the whole 80 minutes if I can.”
