The former Ulster star said: 'It's a nightmare.'
Andrew Trimble believes Ulster can squeeze into the play-offs with just three games remaining in the regular United Rugby Championship season.
A top-eight finish will secure a play-off spot this season, but there are plenty of other clubs battling for points and seedings.Former Ulster star Trimble believes the Belfast side can make it into the quarter-finals, but admits it won't be easy with remaining games against Scarlets, Leinster and defending champions Munster.
Looking at Ulster's schedule, Trimble said: "They have to win tonight . It depends on Leinster potentially being busy. We saw them being tripped up in South Africa after sending a second string team out. That's the only chance Ulster have . He added: "It's a nightmare. Connacht have Munster and Leinster. Ospreys have tough games. There is a hefty degree of naivety and hopefulness in me putting Ulster in eighth there."
