Izuchukwu conceded that he has had to re-adjust to club rugby after a month away with Ireland for the Autumn Nations Series.
“There’s been loads going on and it’s been special, lots of new things coming towards me and I’ve been trying to embrace it and I’ve been getting back into Ulster mode.”
And whilst he said it was “too soon” to think about being selected for Ireland’s Six Nations games, he knows he must focus on performing well with his club to force his way into Simon Easterby’s plans.
“I’ve been lucky with Ireland selection in the past with injuries and having a couple of good games before selection so whatever happens, happens.”
The 24-year-old said that Ulster are determined to turn their fortunes around after a run of three defeats in all competitions, including a 61-21 hammering by Toulouse in their opening European game.
“Everyone hates losing and it’s not good environment to be and in you can only change it by winning and we’re just going to have to get stuck in and do what we can,” he added.
“It’s been a case of taking your medicine and moving on to focus on this week.”
