Ulster Head Coach Brian McLaughlin has named a 28 man squad, for Round 4, of the Heineken Cup Pool Stages. This stage will see Ulster travel to face Stade Francais, at the King Baudouin Stadium, in Brussels, on Saturday 19th December 2009, kick off 16:45 (local time.)

Both Ulster and Stade Francais currently sit on 9 points, at the top of the Pool 4 table, with little point’s difference separating the two sides as they head into Saturday’s match.

Commenting on Saturday’s return leg clash, Ulster Coach Brian McLaughlin said: “I never look back, I always look forward, we had a good win over Stade at the weekend, but now it is all about Brussels. I am just hoping that the record, come Saturday, will be played two, won two.

“We all know how good Stade are and towards the end of the game last week, when we basically stopped playing, having gained a 23-6 lead, they came back at us. This is something we have to be aware of this weekend. But we can also go there with belief,
confidence and pride after our overall performance against them.

“We can go to Brussels with great passion and faith. We have kept our own destiny in our own hands.

“Last weekend’s performance was not perfect by any means, but by goodness it was a great one. We have to learn from any mistakes for this week, as they will be coming at us hard and fast.”
