Tonight is another massive game for Ulster as they take on Montpellier in front of a sell-out crowd at Ravenhill, kick off 8pm. Ulster will be looking to make it five out of five and maintain their record as the only undefeated team in the Heineken Cup this season. Ulster currently lead the way in Pool 5 with 18 points; three points ahead of nearest rivals Leicester Tigers, following wins over the English club, Montpellier and Treviso so far this season. 1. Player Update: The team welcome back Johann Muller and Rory Best who have recovered from injury and have been named in the Ulster starting XV to face Montpellier at Ravenhill tonight. Best suffered a broken arm playing for Ireland in the narrow defeat to the All Blacks seven weeks ago. He has returned to play ahead of schedule and is selected in the front row alongside John Afoa and Tom Court. Commenting on being back for Ulster Rory Best said: "I knew that it was going to be a tight ask to get back for these games, but it is testament to the medical team that we have here, Michael Eames the surgeon and the strength and conditioning coaches at Ulster that I am back. I have been fortunate that there have been no set-backs along the way and it has just been a case of trying to push on and thankfully I have come through." Tonight's match will be particularly significant for Andrew Trimble, who will play his 58th game in the Heineken Cup, setting a new Ulster appearance record in the competition. Congratulations Andrew! 2. Ticket Update: Tonight is another Ravenhill sell out.
