Gadd: We're Expecting Tough Challenge

Centre sets his sights on B&I Cup victory

09th January 2013 published by Tom Tainton

 

Jack Gadd is determined to help Bristol Rugby return to winning ways against Ulster Ravens on Friday evening (7.30pm KO).

Bristol and Ulster are separated by a single point in Pool One of the B&I Cup, with the victors at Deramore Park almost certain to progress through to the knockout stages.

“The trip to Belfast will present a really tough challenge,” said the centre. “But we need these high-pressure occasions, because we can learn from the experience and take that into the league.

“Ulster gave us a good battle at the Memorial Stadium in October, so we know what to expect. They’re a team of talented, young players who can hurt a side if we give them the opportunity.

“A good performance and the right result on Friday will give us a confidence boost before a critical period for us in the RFU Championship.

“We’re disappointed with the defeat against Pirates, but there is still a long way to go and the strong sense of belief among the squad remains.

“We’re focusing on one game at a time, so we’ll prepare well for Ulster and try to put ourselves in a strong position in Pool One.”
