Allen Clarke: Ulster focus solely on Saracens

Ulster’s assistant coach Allen Clarke believes last week’s postponement of the Champions Cup opener in Oyonnax will not compromise the side’s psyche in the lead up to Friday’s big clash with Premiership leaders Saracens at the Kingspan Stadium.

“We were well primed for last week’s game and the boys were disappointed at the game being called off.

“However, when you look at the atrocity, and that unfolding tragedy unfolded in Paris, everybody realised that rugby was very much secondary to what took place on Friday. So we are just glad to get back home safe,” said the former Ireland hooker.
