Michael Lowry (220)
The quick-footed full-back has been instrumental in Ulster’s back-to-back wins at the start of this season’s Heineken Champions Cup and has been illusive when in possession.
Against ASM Clermont Auvergne in Round 1, Lowry made nine carries as he also managed two clean breaks, before a further 11 carries against Northampton Saints in Round 2 saw him soar to the top of the metres gained chart.

James Hume (214)
Hume has been another standout performer for Ulster, with his robust displays in midfield setting the foundations for the Irish province’s two wins.
The 23-year-old carried 11 times at Clermont and made two clean breaks, before he made another eight carries against Northampton, notched a try assist, and took his metres gained tally to well over 200m.
What a start for @UlsterRugby 😍
