Gilroy raring to roar again

HEINEKEN CUP POOL FIVE:

Gilroy has had a frustrating stint on the sidelines with groin and ankle problems but the 22-year-old hopes he can now stay fit to finish what should be a busy and fulfilling season. Gilroy is back in his normal position on the left wing, with Jared Payne returning to full-back after a groin problem and Ruan Pienaar back in at scrum-half to partner Paddy Jackson, who will be making his 50th appearance for Ulster.

Up front, skipper Johann Muller returns to partner Dan Tuohy in the engine room and Rob Herring is at hooker in an unchanged front-row after recovering from a stinger, with Sean Doyle at open-side in place of Mike McComish.
