"We have won three out of three now and the end of season is now in sight and we know what we have to do," he said.
"We are playing well at the moment and need to keep doing that.
"We have got good players here and they are playing well for each other. We went through the spell of defeats but we came through and are now out on the other side.
"I watched Ulster last night and they are a really good side.
"They are winning games and on a good run and we know it is going to be tough.
"We spoke about next week in the changing room after the game and we have done all we can for now.
"The game is on Sunday next wee so we get a little extra rest time and we will enjoy that and then come in and get ready for a massive week.
"We know at our best we are a good side and capable of winning the game."
