Trimblebanks on Ravenhill factor

IRELAND winger Andrew Trimble is under no illusions as to Ulster’s task this afternoon when they face French giants Clermont Auvergne in their opening Heineken Cup gambit at Ravenhill (3.40).

Trimble features in an unchanged line-up, with the only changes being on the bench where Willie Faloon and Declan Fitzpatrick are added in place of Robbie Diack and Adam Macklin.

Trimble, who is now in the best form of his life, says the obvious when he looks to the Ravenhill factor to bear fruit.
