Paul Marshall plays his 150th game for Ulster

Pint-sized scrum-half Paul Marshall will play his 150th game for Ulster in tonight’s Guinness Pro12 clash (7.45pm) against unbeaten Edinburgh at Murrayfield.

Thirty-year-old Marshall has spent most of the past three seasons as cover for Ruan Pienaar, but intends to enjoy the wearing number 9 while the World Cup is in operation.

“On a personal level I just want to play every week,” he said, “I’m enjoying it at present and feel like a leader. I just wish I knew back when I played my first game what I know now, then things might have been slightly different for me!
