Zac Ward enjoyed his first appearance for Ulster despite the 40-19 defeat by Bordeaux in the Investec Champions Cup on Saturday.
Ulster led 19-14 at the break in Belfast before the French visitors hit 26 unanswered points in the second half.
Ward impressed for Ireland Sevens in the Paris Olympics before joining the Ulster squad on a trial at the start of this season.
“Yeah, very conflicting [emotions] – I was personally really happy to get my first cap, it was a bit of a boyhood dream come true,” said the 26-year-old wing.
“But obviously it would have been quite nice to top it off with a win. We started really well, we had a really good first 40 minutes. We stuck to our gameplan, we imposed ourselves well and cause Bordeaux a lot of trouble.
“In the second half – I’m not too sure what happened – the next thing we knew we were 30 odd points to 19 down so we’ll have to look back and try to fix what went wrong for next week against Munster.”
It was a fourth straight defeat for Ulster as they prepare to face their Irish rivals at Kingspan Stadium on Friday night.
Ward has settled well at Ulster and hopes to keep his spot in the team for the Munster showdown.
“I’m loving it – I was definitely ready for the change off the back of the Olympics and ever since I’ve come into Ulster I’ve felt really welcomed.
“I was relatively happy with how I played [against Bordeaux] and I thought I played to my strengths which was with ball in hand.
“So hopefully I can get in the team against for next week and try to do more of the same.”
