Nathan Doak confided that Ulster were "hyped up" leaving the visitors' dressing-room at the Dexcom Stadium as they picked up their first win in six games. And head coach Richie Murphy insisted there is more to come from a group of young players who seized their chance against Connacht in Galway. Despite a large casualty list, Murphy's side - with his 20-year-old son, Jack, making his first start - won 17-7.

"We're coming off the back of massively tough fixtures and we didn't want to use coming down here, you know, 'tough place to come'. "I tell you what, the forwards got us hyped up before the game and we all wanted to go out and put in a big performance. "It was just so good to be a part of that tonight, there's a lot of boys making second starts and debuts and we wanted to make it special for them, so it was class for everyone to come together and put out a performance like that. "The coaches gave heart to us, they put out the standard of what we want in our team and they pushed us to train to make sure we delivered it, and Jeez I thought we delivered it tonight - the linespeed, the physicality. "You get a good bounce, a good flow and a good feeling off that so fair play to the boys, it's a great result for us. We're ecstatic to have a win, it's been a while for us." Murphy said that Ulster have picked up some more injuries as the players look forward to a few days off before preparations start for their third Champions Cup pool game against Leicester Tigers. "I thought the lads were incredible tonight," the head coach commented. "A lot of things went against us during the week, even in the warm-up. "Mike Lowry, we weren't sure if he was going to get through the game, for him to put in that performance that he did was incredible. "Rob Herring obviously pulls up in the warm-up, James McCormick comes onto the bench and then into the game within 10 minutes (as a temporary replacement), so it just shows you the strength that's growing in the group. "We're missing a fair few top, top players, so for our young boys to come out here and go up against a back line like they did and defend the way they did, I was really, really proud of them. "We're going away with four points and after five losses on the bounce it shows the character of the team to come back like that. "I still think there's way more in them. What I loved about that was the commitment to the jersey, the commitment to each other, the hard work that the lads put in and they never took a backwards step. "So really happy with that but especially on the attack side of the ball I think there's way more in us, so we'll have a mini-break, we'll come back on Thursday or Friday and get ready for Leicester. "But we picked up another few injuries tonight. We've a few boys coming back in who started returning to training on Monday and Tuesday this week who weren't quite ready to actually come into this game, so we'll get them back this week but we've lost a few as well. "We'll just move on to the next one." Meanwhile, Doak is optimistic that this victory can be the start of better times for the Ulster side. "Look, we're young, maybe we're naive but we've got to back ourselves. We want to get better, we want to push on," the 23-year-old stressed. "I know people will have their opinions of where we're at but, for us being involved, being in there, it's just about working hard every day and that will hold us in good stead, getting a win. "Maybe it gives us a bit of confidence going into the next round of league games after a break. We all want to build on this."

The company has seen relatively frequent ups and downs in dairy prices and various supply chain disruptions affecting its stock price. One look at the chart below highlights these trends. However, with Saputo stock now trading near the lower end of what appears to be a rather consistent longer-term band, the question many investors have is whether this stock can bounce back from here toward the $35-per-share level. Let’s dive into where this stock could be headed over the near to medium term. Near-term outlook Saputo’s business model is relatively straightforward, with the dairy producer’s portfolio comprised of cheese, fluid milk, flavoured milk, dairy ingredients, extended shelf-life milk, cultured products, functional dairy blends, dairy ingredients, and cream products. The company operates facilities in Australia, Canada, and the U.S. Saputo’s recent first-quarter (Q1) results showed revenue growth of 9.5% and net earnings, which remained stable at $0.33 per share. Thus, margins continue to be under pressure, and the company’s stock price has clearly reflected the market’s concern on this front. That said, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization growth has been positive, up around 5.8% on a year-over-year basis, and leading some investors to consider this stock as a potential defensive play, given how insulted the Canadian dairy sector is. If the economy continues to churn along (pun intended) in the coming years, this is certainly a stock I think can head toward the higher end of its historical trading band, though risks do exist. Medium-term outlook Over the next five years, I’m less optimistic about Saputo’s prospects. The dairy sector is noted for its high levels of competition. And while Saputo may be relatively insulated in the Canadian market, the company’s international sales could be impacted by any sort of global economic downturn. We haven’t seen a recession in some time, and while that may not be the consensus projection of most analysts out there, this is a stock I’d be wary of moving forward. Additionally, increased tariffs from the U.S. and isolationist policies could impact Saputo’s business in this key market. I’m of the view Saputo is a stock that investors can hold for the very long term (more than five years), but anything can happen over the coming years. However, near its lower historical stock price range, this stock does look relatively attractive at current levels. And with a dividend yield of 2.9%, there is an argument to be patient and wait for a rebound while holding onto this .Supreme Court dismisses suit seeking to compel Federal Government’s disclosure of gas earnings

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The mood in the Eagles' locker room was a bit more bleak than it should have been for a team riding a nine-game winning streak and celebrating a franchise rushing record.
