Mola: “Discipline and ability to defend”
Toulouse knows the recipe since it won on this pitch at Kingspan Stadium last season during the group stage of the Champions Cup: “Discipline and our ability to defend the Ulster team, that will be our main concern. Depending on the facts of the game, it will be necessary to score. We are capable of doing it. It’s our ability not to take too many points that will allow us to win.”warns manager Ugo Mola.
Jelonch: “Don’t overplay”
As for the players, as soon as they left the locker room in the first leg, everyone wanted to start the second leg to put the church back in the middle of the village. But we will have to keep calm and not do anything, tempers third row Anthony Jelonch: “We will have to put a lot of commitment and a lot of rhythm. It will be very hard with the support of the public. You have to take all the points there are to take at the start of the match. Do not overplay. He must win this showdown and victory will be built little by little. Maybe it will come down to the last five minutes, but we have to build the game and take all the points.”
Ulster-Toulouse, match to live in full on France Bleu Occitanie from 8:30 p.m.
