Bilbao or Broke: Ulster’s European Final Awaits

About this episode

Luke Marshall discusses Ulster's upcoming Challenge Cup final and the team's performance and future prospects.

Ulster’s season comes down to one game. Ahead of a huge Challenge Cup final against Montpellier, former Ulster and Ireland centre Luke Marshall joins us to break down where this Ulster side really is, and where it could be heading. We react to Ulster’s defeat to Glasgow, Richie Murphy’s selection calls, and what the performance means heading into a massive showdown with Montpellier in Bilbao, with Luke giving his take on how Ulster can get the job done. We also get into the rise of Ulster’s academy talent, why this current crop of young players feels different, and the impact players like Jude Postlethwaite, Zac Ward and Jack Murphy have had this season as the province looks to build something for the future. Plus, Luke reflects on his own Ulster career, life after rugby, the pressure of big European weeks, and what it was really like coming through the system at Ulster.
