Ulster boss Mark Anscombe has called for professionalism ahead of Ulster’s first home game following the tragic death of their young star Nevin Spence.

Speaking in the build-up to Ulster's RaboDirect PRO12 clash with Connacht at Ravenhill on Friday night, Anscombe said: “It is our first game back home since the passing of Neve.

“And there’s a lot happened in that time, and there’s been some difficult times for the players. We’ve also got to be professional in what we’re about to do, and his memory will never die and always be in the team.

“That fact is that if you just use emotion, you’re not going to get the results. So we’ve got to control the emotion and prepare and be professional in how we get ready for each game. Then we’ll do a good service to his memory.”
