Heineken Cup: Teams up for Saracens v Ulster

And here’s the official announcement of the teams.

Ulster winger, Tommy Bowe, has recovered from injury and has been named in the match day squad to face Saracens in the Heineken Cup Quarter-Final at Twickenham tomorrow evening (kick-off 18.30).

The Ireland international hasn’t played since he suffered knee ligament damage against Northampton in December and is named on the bench for the game.

All Black tight-head prop, John Afoa, returns to the starting XV after he missed the win over Leinster at the RDS as he was in New Zealand for the birth of his third child.

There are two further changes to the team that recorded Ulster’s first win in Dublin since 1999 for the Quarter-Final clash with Saracens.

Iain Henderson is preferred at blindside flanker to Robbie Diack who drops to the bench, while Luke Marshall starts at inside-centre having recovered from the concussion that he sustained playing for Ireland against Italy in the RBS 6 Nations.

Commenting on the return of Tommy Bowe, Ulster Head Coach, Mark Anscombe, said:

“Tommy has trained very well. He is chomping at the bit to get out . . .
