Ulster get their Champions Cup campaign under way this weekend when they travel to Sale.
The Irish province will have to do better than they did last time out against Leinster. Despite having a man advantage and holding a 19-point lead at one stage, Ulster collapsed and ended up losing by nine points.
Sale Sharks will be looking to pounce on what they are hoping is a vulnerable Ulster. The English side have had an excellent start to the season, winning seven of their opening nine games and currently sit second in the Gallagher Premiership table.

Date

Dan McFarland on Leinster loss:
“That's hard to take, there's no room for licking our wounds,” McFarland said.
"We'll get back to it on and have a little bit of a review, then have a good preview on Sale and get our heads down and work hard at that.
“We'll go about our business. We're going over to play the second best team in England – an extremely physical team – and they've had a rest week this week.
“We've had a brutal battle here and that makes it extra tough but we'll really look forward to the challenge.
Team news
Tom Stewart, John Cooney, and Iain Henderson all came off against Leinster with head knocks and are doubts for this weekend.
