Ulster must not take the foot of the throttle as they prepare to tame Lions

It has been the perfect start for Ulster to the new United Rugby Championship, three wins and with it five match points in each victory.

Richard Mulligan reports.

That 100 per cent start is shared by one other club, Munster, while the only other unbeaten side after three rounds of the new competition are defending champions Leinster, a point behind their Irish rivals having missed out on an attacking bonus point in a trip to Newport.

Munster, to their credit, have been impressive in their home routings of Sharks and Stormers and even more so as they thumped Scarlets away.

Leinster have also looked formidable in wins against Bulls and Zebre, although they looked very average as they held out to win 7-6 at Dragons, a performance that perhaps offered some hope to the remainder of those chasing the title, that even the mighty Irish Province can have an off day.

And what of Ulster?
