Ulster v Biarritz: Teams

Ulster have recalled forward duo Stephen Ferris and Dan Tuohy for their vital Heineken Cup Pool Four clash with Biarritz at Ravenhill.

Tuohy starts in the second row with Tim Barker moving to the bench while Ferris, who made a successful return from injury coming off the bench last week, starts at blindside flanker with Chris Henry providing cover.

With qualification for the quarter-final stage still very much in Ulster's hands, Saturday's match is, to say the least, an important one for the 1999 champions.

A win would ensure that Ulster remain very much in contention, ahead of their trip to Aironi next Saturday, for a place in the last eight.

Biarritz, meanwhile, will be looking for the same form that did for Agen 65-22 last week in the Top 14. Once again Damien Traille is at number ten alongside international colleague Dimitri Yachvili.

Elsewhere, the French side have their strongest selection available, with Benoit August, Jérôme Thion, Magnus Lund and Imanol Harinordoquy named for what should be a fascinating battle.
