Ulster’s victory over Connacht ended a run of five defeats in a row after a difficult run of form.<\/p>\n

That run included two heavy losses in Europe at the hands of Toulouse and Bordeaux. <\/p>\n

Leicester lost their European opener to Bordeaux before bouncing back with a big win over South African side Sharks.<\/p>\n

The Welford Road side are fourth in the Premiership with six wins in 10 matches.<\/p>\n

Murphy admitted: “We’re going there and nobody probably gives us a chance.<\/p>\n

“If we want to stay in the competition we need to win our last two games.<\/p>\n

“Leicester is a very difficult place to go. They have a massive pack and set piece, and their big back three are all very talented in the air.<\/p>\n

“There is a massive test coming in regards to that but we are going there with confidence. <\/p>\n

“We want to try and put our game out in front of them and see where we get to.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
