Ulster Name Team To Face Toulon
Ulster Rugby has named the side to face Toulon in tomorrow's European Champions Cup clash.
The Belfast-based side will be without Rory Best and Tommy Bowe for the game, while Michael Allen has been named on the left wing. Darren Cave is also among the starting XV at outside centre and will earn his 150th appearance for the club. Elsewhere, Jared Payne makes his first start at fullback for Saturday's match, with Andrew Warwick, Rob Herring and Bronson Ross forming a new front row.

The game kicks off at the Stade Mayol, France, tomorrow (17 January) at 3.15pm.
