Hurley will draw on memories of Ulster mauling

THE pain of defeat, particularly to old foes, can stay with a player for a long time and Munster’s Denis Hurley is no exception.

So when Ulster come to Thomond Park for this evening’s Magners League clash, it will not take much to take Hurley back to a dark day in Limerick two years ago.

Hurley was full-back when Munster suffered a 37-11 mauling by the Ulstermen and starting as a wing tonight, he will try and channel those memories into positivity for this latest encounter.
