Ulster release fans tribute video after heart-breaking European loss

By Peter O’ Dwyer

Ulster suffered an excruciatingly narrow 17-15 defeat at the hands of Saracens in the quarter-finals of the Heineken Cup last weekend.

The Northern province had to deal with all sorts of adversity throughout the game as they lost three key players in quick succession with Jared Payne, Rory Best and Ruan Pienaar all departing before full time.

While playing with 14 men for the majority of the game after Payne’s red card in the fifth minute was far from ideal, it did serve to encourage an already raucous home support to get behind their team even more at the newly refurbished Ravenhill.

As a thank you for that support, Ulster have released a fantastic video showing the range of emotions endured by fans throughout the contest.

Despite the loss, both the Ulster fans and players alike can be equally proud of their efforts on the day.
