Emotions will be riding high at Ravenhill tonight as Ulster and Ireland
legend David Humphreys leads out his beloved province for one last time.
Humphreys has shaken off an Achilles injury to win his 163rd cap for Ulster
in the final Magners League clash of the season against Cardiff Blues.
And the 36-year-old out-half, who also won 72 caps for Ireland, is
determined to go out on a winning note.
"I am probably going to be more nervous for this game than I have been
for years," said Humphreys, ahead of what will be only his third start
of the season.
"It has been an unbelievably frustating season and I would have loved
to have been in a position when the team hasn't been going well to have made
an impact.
"But now that I am fit again, I want to go out for one last time at
Ravenhill and for the team to put in a performance.
"A number of us are playing our last game for Ulster and we all want to
go out on a high for the guys who are staying. We want to finish this season
the way Ulster want to start next season."
