Ex-Wallaby Jorgenson picked for Northampton

Former Wallaby Peter Jorgensen has been selected in the starting XV for Friday night’s big match against Ulster at Ravenhill after scoring the match-winning try against Biarritz on Saturday.

Northampton Saints will, once again, be without flankers Andrew Blowers and Budge Pountney, so the pack remains unchanged from last weekend’s.

In the backs though, 22-year-old James Brooks will start on the wing in the place of Oriol Ripol. Brooks came on as a replacement for the Spanish flyer last weekend.

Head coach Wayne Smith said: "We are treating this game in the same way we treated our league game against Leicester at Welford Road.

"Ulster have never lost a European Cup game at Ravenhill, so we have to go out there with the aim to win."

Northampton: N Beal; J Brooks, P Jorgensen, J Leslie, B Cohen; P Grayson, M Dawson; T Smith, S Thompson, M Stewart, S Williams, R Hunter, G Seely, M Soden, M Connors.
