42-21 win over the Dragons<\/a> and is again named as a replacement for Friday’s United Rugby Championship away encounter against Edinburgh.<\/p>\n“Some of the stuff he’s been doing in training, you can see he’s going to be a menace on the pitch,” Herring, who has racked up 255 appearances since joining Ulster in 2012, told BBC Sport NI.<\/p>\n
“He’s a pretty world class signing for us to bring in and it’s really cool to be able to attract signings like that to this province. <\/p>\n
“He’s been good, he’s a really sound lad and just gets on with things. We hope to see a lot of him on the pitch this year.”<\/p>\n
Herring reflects on some of the strengths he believes the number eight will bring to the side. <\/p>\n
“He’s a big boy, he runs hard, yet he’s got that soft touch with the ball skills and the off-load.<\/p>\n
“He really opens things up for players around him and we saw a lot of that at Northampton, where a lot of the good things they did were based around him.<\/p>\n
“It’s exciting to see how he fits into out structure and expresses himself within our structure. Hopefully he can set up a few boys to do some special things.”<\/p>\n
Herring, who boasts 43 international caps, was not part of the Irish squad which beat Georgia and Portugal in the summer and says he has benefitted from getting a full pre-season of preparation under his belt. <\/p>\n
“I feel really good. Being here for a full pre-season is actually very good for the body and for the mind. <\/p>\n
“I feel really motivated this year to get at it again and try to bring a bit of success back to this province.<\/p>\n
“It’s been a brilliant pre-season with a lot of young guys stepping up and a bit of a fresh feeling to the squad. It’s nice to see in the first games we have played some of the stuff we have been working on coming to life.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
