It was a pretty poor performance to give the lads who are leaving. They deserved so much better and not an ideal way to top off a tough season."It's hurting massively. There are boys in there who have been playing for us for 10 years and going out and giving them that send-off hurts me too. It's something we've got to live with."I thought we had moments in the game when we were good but we found it hard putting those together and the game got away from us."Izuchukwu hopes a youthful Ulster squad can take lessons into next season."The lesson today we take was just a loss. Hopefully next year we can use that to fuel us to kick on."I think for us, especially with having a squad that is so young, it's just about having the appetite to turn up and give 110%."We don't have massive depth now but hopefully next year we can keep blooding lads, keep building a squad and keep moving forward."

What time and TV channel is Edinburgh v Ulster Rugby on in the URC tonight?
Ulster's season fizzled out badly with last week's loss to Munster and the mission tonight is to avoid a fourth URC defeat in a row to finish off a forgettable campaign. The province heads to Edinburgh with no chance of making the URC play-offs and resigned to Challenge Cup rugby next term. Richie Murphy has had a difficult job on his hands as a lack of investment and a large injury list has played a part in what the head coach has described as a season of underachievement. But, as Andrew Warwick and Kieran Treadwell play their final game for the province, Murphy insists there's more than pride to play for against a side who can still make the play-offs with a victory and results elsewhere falling their way. 'This week gives us an opportunity to make sure we sign off on a better note," said Murphy. 'So, this is an opportunity, and quite a few lads have been told that. Some lads are trying to get on an Irish tour, so we all need to perform for each other. 'It means a lot to us in terms of who we play for and who we represent. So we're looking for one last big effort and try to come out on the right side of it." The match kicks off at 7.35pm on Friday It will be shown live on Premier Sports 2 (from 7pm) and will be streamed live on Edinburgh 1/6 to win, Ulster 4/1 to win, 22/1 draw Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt said: "Last weekend's gritty victory in Galway was a testament to the resilience and character within this squad, and it provides us with real momentum as we head into tomorrow night's match against Ulster. "The passion and energy of our supporters at Hive Stadium have been incredible, and that atmosphere will be absolutely crucial in driving us forward once again. To be playing in front of third consecutive sell-out crowd will be simply amazing – it underscores the connection we have with our city. "We know we are playing for Edinburgh, for our supporters, and we are determined to deliver a performance they can be proud of.'
