Cardiff Rugby Knows 'Ulster Tends To Test Your Basics Very Well' In Round 6
Ben Thomas and Cardiff Rugby take on Ulster Rugby on Oct. 26.
Dubbed the best back in Wales by Warren Gatland, Ben Thomas clearly will be a key figure for Cardiff Rugby, which is looking to end a three-match losing run against Ulster Rugby on Oct. 26.
Giving his thoughts, the 25-year-old center said: “We want to finish this block well for our fans, and if we get a win, it will put us in a good position league-wise. So, a win would be very important for us.

“Similar to most Irish teams, Ulster tends to test your basics very well. So, it’s dealing with the multiple tests they will pose and then, when we get the ball, it will be about imprinting our style of play on them.”
Ulster arrives at the Arms Park following Belfast bonus-point victories over Connacht and the Ospreys.
Their coach Richie Murphy said: “It’s the end of a six-week block and a really important game for us. There’s a real focus for one big last effort before we have a bit of a break.”
On the opposition, he added: “With ball in hand, Cardiff can cause you a lot of problems in the outside channels, while there’s a big threat in, and around, the breakdown. We are fully aware of that.
“So, although they are coming off the back of three losses, it will be a very difficult game for us.
“They are playing at home in front of their fans, and they are going to be fully committed to finishing off this opening block with a win. If we take our eye off the ball, we definitely won’t win.”
