HCC: Teams up for Leinster v Ulster

The teams are out for Ulster’s first European quarter final in five years as they take on Leinster in the Aviva Stadium tomorrow evening.

Dan McFarland has made eight changes to the side and there’s a big welcome back for Luke Marshall who starts on the bench. Luke makes his first appearance since the Champions Cup play off at the end of last season.

Eric O’Sullivan and Rory Best return to front row duties while Marty Moore has shaken off an injury to start at tight head prop. Ulster continue to feed Iain Henderson miracle grow as he returns to the second row, however I doubt that he was ever going to miss this match. Kieran Treadwell will provide dynamism along side Henderson. A back row of Nick Timoney, Jordi Murphy and Marcell Coetzee will get through a lot of work tomorrow and a collective impressive performance could tip the match in Ulster’s favour. Making 27 tackles last week, and 262 so far this season, Timoney’s work rate is impressive, something that is required if Ulster are to win . . .
