Ulster warned against complacency

Ulster and Irish Wolfhounds assistant coach Neil Doak has warned the festive season is a dangerous period where teams can fall away following the intensity of the Heineken Cup.

Sitting proudly unbeaten from four outings atop Pool 5 in the Heineken Cup, Ulster have to switch demands to the Pro12, where they aim to move up into a more challenging position.

Currently fourth, six points behind leaders Munster who they face on January 3 at Ravenhill, Ulster tackle Italian side Zebre in Belfast tomorrow night before the first big interprovincial date on December 28 against Leinster at the RDS.
