Iain Henderson: Ulster ready to match Exeter physicality

Dynamic flanker star Iain Henderson says he’s ready for Exeter’s ‘nuclear’ option when the two Pool 5 outsiders square up against each other at the Kingspan Stadium tomorrow night.

Henderson, sore after Sunday’s disappointing 28-13 lose in Bordeaux, believes Ulster have the wherewithal to combat Exeter Chiefs rolling line-out maul, which has brought them huge success in recent seasons with No. 8 Thomas Waldron more than likely the final man at touchdown.

The former England international was the top scorer last season with the maul being the Premiership side’s main attack weapon.
