With a blend of youth and experience, Ulster are one game away from ending their 20-year trophy drought

When Ulster finished third from bottom in the United Rugby Championship last year, a lot of questions were being asked about the direction of the Irish province.

Not only did they miss out the URC play-offs, but they also fell short of qualification for Champions Cup rugby.

A year on, Ulster beat Exeter Chiefs on Saturday to book their place in the Challenge Cup final.

Richie Murphy's side have the opportunity to end a 20-year trophy drought when they face Montpellier in the final in Bilbao on 22 May.
