MIKE LOWRY HAS been named to start on the wing for Ulster as they prepare to travel to face ASM Clermont Auvergne tomorrow in the Challenge Cup quarter-finals [kick-off, 12.30].
The team earned their first victory under Richie Murphy last weekend against Montpellier to progress in the competition, and the head coach has opted to stick with an unchanged front row against Clermont. Steven Kitshoff, Rob Herring and Tom O’Toole will all pack down together while Iain Henderson, starts alongside Alan O’Connor, in the second-row.
Harry Sheridan starts in the back row at blindside flanker, while David McCann and Nick Timoney slot in at seven and eight.
John Cooney and Nathan Doak continued their half-back partnership as Lowry comes into the left wing after missing out last weekend due to a concussion he picked up against the DHL Stormers.
Stuart McCloskey and James Hume link up in the centre, with Rob Baloucoune starting on the right wing and Stewart Moore taking the full-back position.

Zion is going to be a serious star. 31 and 32 points in his last 2 games.
What a baller Tatum is, and still only 21. Got hooked into the game late last night (earlier this morning). Celtics made life hard for themselves by blowing a late game winning lead in regular time and then having to chase clippers to force 2nd overtime. Smart and Tatum the absolute soul of this Boston team. Find watching Hayward frustrating game to game, has the ability just don’t think he has the hunger to make this Celtics team Championship winning…
@ℝ: made it to the end of 3rd qtr, kinda glad didn’t say up longer as double ot would be a killer buy yeah Celtics are going to be serious contenders over the next few years and Tatum has the potential to be a superstar. Glad they got rid of that prima donna Kyrie.
waiting here boys
