Meanwhile, Will Addison has been passed fit to start at full-back for Ulster match against Bath tomorrow.

Having been named in Ireland's Six Nations squad this week, Tom O'Toole has been named in the front-row.

Victory for Dan McFarland's side would see them qualify for the quarter-finals.

James Ryan has skaken off his calf injury to start for already qualified Leinster in their game away to Benetton.

Max Deegan will start at blindside with Caelan Doris at number-eight.

Sean Cronin and Andrew Porter also come into the side.

Scrum-half Kieran Marmion will make his first appearance for Connacht in two months on Sunday.

He's back in the team for their final pool game away to Montpellier.

Neither team can qualify for the quarter-finals.

Elsewhere, Saracens could be automatically relegated from the English Premiership if they fail to meet the salary cap this season.

The defending champions have already been docked 35 points and fined 5-point-3 million pounds after they were found guilty of breaking rules over the last three campaigns.

Other clubs are demanding Saracens now prove they are within the 7 million pound limit for this year or face demotion to the Championship.
