Anscombe calls for more

Despite maintaining their unbeaten record in all competitions with a RaboDirect PRO12 win over second place Scarlets in Wales, Ulster head coach Mark Anscombe has called on his players to raise their game ahead of Friday’s Heineken Cup Pool 4 fixture with Northampton Saints at Franklin’s Gardens (8pm).

The Northern Province now boast a nine-point lead at the top of the PRO12 table after condemning the Scarlets to a 12-19 defeat on Sunday.
