DAN McFARLAND HAS made just two changes to the Ulster team that beat Munster last Friday for tomorrow’s Heineken Champions Cup trip to take on Clermont Auvergne [KO 1pm, BT Sport 2].
Both changes come in the back row, as the Ulster head coach welcomes back Marcell Coetzee and Jordi Murphy for the clash at the Stade Marcel-Michelin.
The inclusion of Coetzee and Murphy sees Sean Reidy switch to blindside flanker, but otherwise it’s as you were from the 38-17 bonus-point win over Munster at Kingspan Stadium.

Ulster currently lead Pool 3 of the Champions Cup with four rounds of fixtures played, sitting one point clear of Clermont on 17 points.
The province head into the game with an impressive return of four wins from their last five away games in the Champions Cup, but face a Clermont side who have won 30 of their last 31 games in the tournament.
