Ulster v Bordeaux: ‘Home truths’ delivered after Toulouse loss – Soper
Soper believes the quick turnaround after Sunday’s game means Ulster can no longer dwell on defeat, but they must also try to right some of the mistakes made in France.
It will be another tough test on Saturday at the Kingspan Stadium when they face second-placed Bordeaux in the French last 14.
“We were already on the pitch today so you can’t focus too much on what you have to get up and go again,” he added.
“It’s a young group and they’re learning all the time, but we need to start putting in performances.”
Soper does hope that, despite a long injury list, Ulster can cope with the heavy defeat at Toulouse and put on a proud home performance.
“There’s always pressure and expectations when Ulster play at home at this time of year, but it’s a privilege we do and we’ll turn up on Saturday expecting to perform and get a result,” he said.
“No matter how Europe is structured, home games are usually a must-win if you think you have a chance of qualifying.”
