Ulster set up Biarritz showdown

ULSTER head coach Brian McLaughlin has warned his side must not lose focus ahead of their Pool Four showdown with Biarritz next month after their epic 26-22 Heineken Cup weekend victory at Bath.

Tries in each half from Adam D’Arcy and Nevin Spence and a superb kicking display by fly-half Ian Humphreys, who booted 16 points, were enough to give the Irish side back-to-back victories over their West Country hosts, who are now all but out of the competition.

The win puts Ulster three points behind Biarritz at the top of the pool, but McLaughlin has warned his side they must return their attentions to their Magners League aspirations with a busy festive period on the horizon.
