Ulster and Toulouse turn their attention to European competition as they clash in the opening round of the Champions Cup. Both sides are performing superbly in their respective domestic leagues, with Ulster unbeaten atop their Conference in the Pro14 and Toulouse sitting pretty in second position of the French Top14. Ulster will be looking for revenge after Toulouse beat them 36-8 in the Quarter-Finals of last season Champions Cup.

There are some late changes to tonight's squad - Matty Rea will now start and Sean Reidy will switch to 7. Greg Jones moves up to the bench.

24-year-old Greg Jones in line for his Champions Cup debut off the bench for Ulster this evening.
