Ulster rest Wallace for Connacht clash

AS expected, Ulster’s Paddy Wallace will miss tonight’s Magners League derby with Connacht at the Galway Sportsground.

Wallace suffered yet another head injury in the last game against Cardiff and coach Matt Williams has decided to rest the Ireland centre, one of five changes from that defeat at Ravenhill two weeks ago.

Timocu Magusa gets his first start since injuring a hamstring back in November, while Ed O’Donoghue returns to the second row and Ian Whitten takes over from Wallace.
