Ulster v Connacht: Aidan Morgan ‘super-excited’ for first Irish intrepro

Ulster fly-half Aidan Morgan says he is “super-excited” for the province’s first Irish interprovincial game of the season against Connacht at Kingspan Stadium on Saturday night, a contest which will be broadcast live on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.

The 23-year-old New Zealand native joined the Irish province from the Hurricanes on a two-year contract at the start of the campaign.

Ulster began their United Rugby Championship term with a narrow win over Glasgow in Belfast, followed by reverses on the road at the hands of the Lions and the Bulls.

“I know how important these interpro games are for the club and the senior boys are really leading the week in terms of what a win will mean for the team and for the fans,” said Morgan.

“We ground out a really hard victory last time here [against Glasgow at Kingspan Stadium] so we’re looking to do the same.

“Although the results in South Africa weren’t what we were looking for, it was nice to spend some time with the lads and get to know them a bit better.

“We’re working really hard as a team to fix up the few areas where we probably let ourselves down in South Africa. We know it’s a really big challenge this weekend but the boys are ready to step up.”
