Ulster captain Iain Henderson, Robert Baloucoune and Stuart McCloskey all return to the starting team for Saturday’s United Rugby Championship game against Connacht.

Henderson has recovered from the thumb injury that has prevented him from seeing any game time this season and comes straight into the second row to partner Alan O’Connor at the Aviva Stadium (5.15pm).
