HOME SWEET HUME

Our supporters will rally to us crowned URC kings

JAMES HUME doesn’t have to think back too far for inspiration ahead of tonight’s United Rugby Championship quarter-final against Connacht.

The centre produced a devastating display at the same stage last season as Ulster blew away Munster 36-17 at Kingspan.

Hume is quick to point to that night last June as “one of his best” in an Ulster shirt, and has been doing all he can to produce a repeat performance.

“Thinking back to the Munster quarter-final last year, it was one of the most memorable games I’ve played in both performance-wise and the crowd,” he said.

“It was one of those days when everything clicked – three try assists and a try, I don’t think you can get much better.
