Dan McFarland is expecting Ulster to come up against a "hungry" Connacht side in tomorrow night's United Rugby Championship quarter-final at Kingspan Stadium.
McFarland admitted it is "do or die" in the play-offs as his side try to make the most of home advantage after finishing the regular season in second place.
But they come up against a Connacht side who finished the season strongly, winning five of their last six games to finish seventh.
