Stade Francais v Ulster: Teams

Stade Francais will not field a full strength team when they face Ulster in a Heineken Cup dead rubber on Saturday.

Both team's hopes of a spot in the quarter-finals have ended but there is still a second place finish in pool four to fight over and Ulster will be looking to avenge their 26-10 home defeat to the French side.

Stade Francais rest many of their star players including fly-half Juan Martin Hernandez, whose number 10 shirt is handed to Lionel Beauxis, with former rugby league star Mark Gasnier alongside him at inside centre.

Exciting youngster Mathieu Bastreaud will start at outside centre while Julien Arias and Djibril Camara complete a new-look back division for the Parisians.

Ulster will hope put in a similar performance to the one that defeated pool winners Harlequins last weekend.

Head coach Matt Williams has rotated his squad as he looks to steer the Magners League side to a first ever win on French soil.

David Pollock takes over the captaincy with Kieron Dawson named on the bench alongside Isaac Boss and Tom Court.

After missing last weekend through injury, BJ Botha returns to the front row alongside fellow prop Bryan Young and hooker Nigel Brady.

Stephen Ferris is still sidelined so Matt McCullough starts in the back row alongside skipper Pollock and number eight Chris Henry.
