Ulster boss Dan McFarland has made five changes to the side beaten by Connacht last week for Friday night’s European Challenge Cup semi-final at Leicester Tigers.

Ulster fell victim to a last-play overtime Connacht try at the Kingspan Stadium as they lost their PRO14 Rainbow Cup opener 26-24 to the westerners and head coach McFarland has recalled centre Stuart McCloskey, props Eric O’Sullivan and Marty Moore, lock Alan O’Connor and back-rower Jordi Murphy for the trip to Welford Road.
