Four games in, Ulster are still waiting for their first United Rugby Championship win, but Richie Murphy says the gap to success is slim.
Ulster are still searching for their first United Rugby Championship victory of the season, and head coach Richie Murphy is adamant the turnaround is closer than the table suggests.
Four matches into the campaign, the Belfast province have nothing to show in the win column. It is a difficult start in one of the most demanding leagues in club rugby, where one bad spell can undo an otherwise strong performance.
Murphy has framed the run as a question of "small margins" rather than a collapse. His message is that the team is competing, but key moments are slipping away, and sharpening those details is the focus as the group prepares for what comes next.
The pressure will keep building until the first win arrives. In a league this tight, early-season momentum matters, and Ulster will want to stop the slide before it starts to define their year. For now, Murphy is backing his squad to turn near-misses into results.
