Challenge Cup final: Montpellier v Ulster – We’d love to be part of history – Richie Murphy

On the walls of one of the hospitality lounges at the Affidea Stadium there are pictures of Ulster’s storied history.

The two that stand out contain teams celebrating silverware.

The European Cup win in 1999 remains the most famous day for the Irish province.

The other was the Celtic League triumph in 2006, but there has not been an addition to the honours board at Ravenhill for 20 years now.

Ulster have an opportunity to change that as they face Montpellier in the Challenge Cup final in Bilbao on Friday.

Richie Murphy’s side head into the game off the back of a disappointing end to their United Rugby Championship campaign, as they finished just outside the play-off places in ninth.

But the slate was wiped clean after a review on Monday and, for head coach Richie Murphy, the chance to win a trophy and join the heroes of years gone by on the walls of the Nine Counties lounge is something “we want to embrace”.

“We want to try and achieve what they’ve achieved,” he told BBC Sport NI.

“You know, the guys don’t shy away from the task that’s in hand, but also the dream of coming back here with a trophy in the early hours of Saturday morning. You know, that’s, you know, You can’t just dream. You’ve got to have a plan.

“You’ve got to make sure you work really hard in order to prepare to be at your best. And that’s what we’re going at.

“The guys are looking around and seeing the history on the walls, and they’d love to be a part of that history.”
