"Strange". Gustard has urged his players to use Joshua's world boxing title victory

Harlequins head coach Paul Gustard has urged his players to use Anthony Joshua's world boxing title victory as an inspiration to win against Ulster on Friday and maintain their Heineken Champions Cup campaign alive. Joshua beat Andy Ruiz Jr on Saturday to regain the heavyweight world title belts he lost to the same fighter. Harlequins have lost to Ulster with 25-24 on Saturday and Gustard has shown his squad Joshua's post-fight interview as an example to gain revenge for a defeat. Speaking to RugbyPass, Quins coach said: “We have taken a lot of inspiration from Joshua-Ruiz, in particular, his post-fight interview when he talked about learning from the first fight, staying humble and learning the lessons having failed the first exam.  He had good preparation, belief in himself, control of his discipline and emotions and he executed what the coaches asked him to do. Those four or five key learnings we showed to the squad and this is our second exam against Ulster and we have a great opportunity to get the result that we want and stay alive in the competition." Quins will face Ulster on Friday at Twickenham Stoop as the European Rugby Championship Cup continues. Spurce- RugbyPass
