McLaughlin relishing European challenge

Ulster head coach Brian McLaughlin has said his team are savouring the challenges of this year’s Heineken Cup as they prepare to travel to Thomond Park for an all-Irish quarter-final.

Having been pitted against European heavy weights Leicester and Clerment Auvergne in the Pool stages, Ulster certainly haven’t had the easiest route to the knockout stages but McLauhglin believes his side have proven they’re a match for any team in the tournament.
