Ford said: “I think this weekend’s game (Castres, Friday 16 January, kick off 7.30pm) is very important for us. We need to perform well in order to secure third place.

“We played okay for the first 25 minutes in the Ulster game, but we want to put in a complete 80-minute performance to give our fans something to cheer about.”
