HCC: Teams up for Ulster v Racing 92

It’s a baptism of fire for Robert Baloucoune as he will make his first Heineken Champions Cup appearance tomorrow against Racing 92.

As expected the big guns are back ahead of what could prove to be a decisive game in Ulster’s Champions Cup run this season with Dan McFarland making 13 changes in total.

Given the weekend off against Leinster, the improving front row of Eric O’Sullivan, Rory Best and Marty Moore returns for tomorrow’s match. Alan O’Connor is partnered by Kieran Treadwell in the second row while it’s the familiar back row of Sean Reidy, Jordi Murphy and Marcell Coetzee.

John Cooney and Billy Burns start at scrum half and out half respectively while the dangerous pairing of Stuart McCloskey and Will Addison will link up in the midfield. Jacob Stockdale starts on the left wing after missing all three interpro matches with youngster Baloucoune on the right. Louis Ludik has barely put a foot wrong since returning from injury and starts at fullback.
