Ferris out for Ulster as McLaughlin makes two changes

Stephen Ferris will miss out on Ulster’s Heineken Cup clash with Bath this weekend after suffering a leg injury in training during the week.

Ferris was man of the match in last weekend’s encounter with the same opposition and he will be replaced by Robbie Diack in one of two changes made by Ulster coach Brian McLaughlin.

Diack will start at number eight and Pedrie Wannenburg will switch to blindside flanker in Ferris’ absence. The other change sees Willie Faloon introduced to the back row in place of Chris Henry, who has been named amongst the replacements.

Ulster’s clash with Bath kicks off at the Recreation Ground on Saturday at 1.30pm.

Ulster: Adam D'Arcy; Andrew Trimble, Nevin Spence, Paddy Wallace, Simon Danielli; Ian Humphreys, Ruan Pienaar; Tom Court, Nigel Brady, BJ Botha; Johann Muller (Captain), Dan Tuohy; Pedrie Wannenburg, Willie Faloon, Robbie Diack

Replacements: Andi Kyriacou, Paddy McAllister, Bryan Young, Tim Barker, Chris Henry, Paul Marshall, Ian Whitten, Jamie Smith
