With a win against Bath enough to see Ulster through to the knockout stages, they have made one change to their starting line-up after last weekend’s loss at pool leaders Clermont.
Tom O’Toole - who was named in Andy Farrell’s Ireland Six Nations squad in midweek - is the only change, the youngster stepping in at tighthead for this first start at European level following an injury to Marty Moore in France.

“bring in a double bonus point instead” I don't think this is a great idea. We need the premiership to be a breeding ground for test match players. If we try to turn it into a defense optional try fest, we're going to come unstuck. It's not like teams really need an incentive to score more tries once they get to 4 tries.
England will no doubt benefit from more highly skilled attacking players (assuming they allow them to play with some autonomy) but test matches are rarely high scoring affairs. It's good that our players are becoming more skilled, we've long played second fiddle in those stakes to the SH (and still do) but the players also need to learn how to grind out gnarly wins. The Premiership is already a very high scoring league, we don't need to push it any further.
