Ulster drop Humphreys to the bench

Niall O’Connor will start at out-half for Ulster against Bath in the crucial Round 6 Heineken Cup game against Bath at The Recreation Grounds tomorrow.

It is the only change to the Ulster side with Ian Humphreys dropping to the bench.

Assistant Ulster Coach Neil Doak said: "Bath are going to be a hard team to beat, it's their home ground. They're going to be very physical. We need to be solid at set-piece time to get some good quality ball, in order to put them under pressure defensively.

"We've got to go in with the attitude that we've got to win the game first, and then go for the bonus point."

ULSTER (v Bath): Jamie Smith, Andrew Trimble, Darren Cave, Paddy Wallace, Simon Danielli, Niall O'Connor, Isaac Boss; Tom Court, Nigel Brady, BJ Botha, Dan Tuohy, Ed O'Donoghue, Stephen Ferris, David Pollock, Chris Henry (Capt).

Replacements: Andi Kyriacou, Bryan Young, Declan Fitzpatrick, Ryan Caldwell, TJ Anderson, Cillian Willis, Ian Humphreys, Timoci Nagusa.
