Ulster head coach Richie Murphy felt his side's 43-31 defeat by Bordeaux-Begles in the last 16 of the Investec Champions Cup provided another example of the "good resilience" in his squad.
The province have had to come from behind to beat Scarlets, Dragons and Stormers in the United Rugby Championship (URC) over recent weeks and, while they could not complete another fightback at the Stade Chaban Delmas, Murphy was pleased by how his side "stayed in the fight."
The visitors were 21-0 down after 21 minutes but cut the deficit to seven points before the end of the first half.
