United Rugby Championship: Ulster were 'very lucky' to beat Cardiff says Richie Murphy

Ulster interim head coach Richie Murphy says his side were 'very lucky' to beat Cardiff on Friday night.

Ulster interim head coach Richie Murphy said his side were "very lucky" to beat Cardiff on Friday night.Cardiff thought they had won the game with what would have been Theo Cabango's hat-trick try only for the officiating team to call play back for a knock-on from Rhys Carre.

"I thought the game had gone at that stage. We were probably a little bit lucky to get the win in the end. Ulster again struggled mightily at the breakdown throughout the game, a consistent problem area in recent weeks. "Our line-out functioned better than it has in recent weeks but ultimately in and around the breakdown, both attack and defence, we weren't really good enough."At the end of the day, we've got the win and we're moving in the right direction in the league.
