ERCC: Teams announced for La Rochelle v Ulster

Andrew Trimble will become Ulster’s most capped player overtaking Roger Wilson’s total of 221 caps when he takes the field on Sunday in the European Rugby Champions Cup match against La Rochelle on Sunday. Robbie Diack will become the third Ulster player to reach 200 provincial caps if he appears off the bench.

There’s good news on the injury front as Craig Gilroy and Schalk van der Merwe are close to making first team action while Rory Best makes a return ahead of schedule and is named among the replacements.

Wiehahn Herbst continues his run as the only Ulster player to have featured in every match this season and he is joined in the front row by Rob Herring and Callum Black.. Alan O’Connor returns to the second row and partners Kieran Treadwell. Iain Henderson continues as captain but moves to blindside flanker where he combines with Chris Henry and Sean Reidy in the back row.
