Brennan set to call time on cup odyssey

Pool Five/Toulouse v Ulster(Kick-off: Sunday, 1pm): A nothing game for either side but the French club will look to extract some revenge following their drubbing in the first game of the campaign at Ravenhill.

Trevor Brennan starts on the bench in what could be his last game in the Heineken European Cup, certainly for Toulouse. He has been a magnificent servant.

Jean-Baptiste Elissalde returns at scrumhalf alongside Gaffie du Toit, who has recovered from injury.

Ulster coach Mark McCall can call upon Paddy Wallace, forced to retire early against Llanelli after shipping a heavy knock. The province looked a little leg weary in that defeat last time out and will be looking for more pep in their step.

It's a tough assignment mentally because there is little to play for but McCall will be looking for a return to the form Ulster have shown in the Magners Celtic League.

It will be an uncompromising battle up front, and for the visitors to thrive they must slow down the quick ball the Toulouse backs revel in.

Toulouse will start as favourites but for Ulster this represents an opportunity to have a real cut and banish the memories of an uncharacteristically poor effort against Llanelli.

The Welsh side have won the group and, with London Irish visiting Stradey Park tomorrow, look set for a home quarter-final.
