Murphy continued: “The lads are disappointed, but I said to them there they shouldn\u2019t be they played against a really good team, and they made it very difficult for them.”<\/p>\n
With Ulster’s season now over, Murphy reflected on the progress his side have made since his arrival in March and is already looking forward to next season’s re-build with a number of experienced players such as Billy Burns and Steven Kitshoff departing.<\/p>\n
“Over the last number of the weeks, it is great to see where we\u2019ve come to as a group and the tightness that has been formed, that comes from the players taking responsibility and driving the standard through training,” he explained.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m also delighted with the staff since coming in they\u2019ve been unbelievably good, and the credit has to go to them.<\/p>\n
“I’m looking forward to a break but on the back of that [performance] we\u2019ll be ready to get back into it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
