Williams hails Ulster's defensive wall

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 12:54

Coach Matt Williams has hailed his Ulsterman’s defensive performance as they recorded an important win over Magner’s League leaders Munster.

While Williams admits it was not a full strength Munster side his troops were up against but the fact is that they could only beat who was put in front of them and was very pleased with his sides showing at Ravenhill.

"Obviously there were some great players missing from that Munster side but I know to beat Munster any day you have to be playing well,” he said.

"I think we just really needed to win that a lot more. We've played a lot of good rugby without the results.

"We were much more disciplined [tonight], apart from the sin-binning which I thought was silly from us.

"Our biggest plus tonight was our defence which I thought was superb. To keep Munster tryless, not many other teams can do that."

What does this mean for the White Knights? Will this be the spark their season needs?
