Muller plans to go out on Ulster high

It’s the last stand for Ulster and their South African captain Johann Muller as they attempt to reach the Rabo-Direct Pro12 play-offs when Leinster travel up the road to help officially open the new Ravenhill facilities.

In simple terms, Ulster must garner at least two points from their last two games against table-toppers Leinster tonight then Munster at Thomond Park next week after Ospreys slipped up against Zebre last night.

Coach Mark Anscombe can call on Jared Payne after his controversial sending off and subsequent ban in the defeat by Saracens two weeks ago. Payne will wear the No 13 jersey alongside Luke Marshall in the only change from the back line that saw Ulster disappointingly lose to Glasgow last time out.
