After last weekend’s dissapointing preformance against Leicester, Ulster have made a number of changes to their site for the game against Stade Francais in Paris on Saturday.

This will be a must win match for Ulster but also marks Ulster’s 50th Heineken Cup game. The 50 Club is a relatively exclusive honour in Heineken Cup circles with only Toulouse, Munster, Llanelli, Leicester and Leinster having played 50th European Cup games before.

With regard to the squad. Gary Longwell comes straight into the second-row alongside Matt McCullough with Rowan Frost and Matt Mustchin out. At flanker Rod Moore replaces Simon Best, another change in the pack is Neil McMillan comes in for Neil Best.

In the back line, Bryn Cunningham comes in at full-back with Seamus Mallon in for the injured Shane Stewart at centre.

Ulster (v Stade Francais): Cunningham; Topping; Mallon, Steinmetz, Howe; Humphreys, Doak; Kempson, Sexton, Moore, McCullough, Longwell, Ward, capt, N McMillan, Wilson.



Replacements: Shields, S Best, Mustchin, N Best, Campbell, Larkin, Wallace.
