Red-hot Stade Toulousain will travel to face Ulster at the Kingspan Stadium in a Champions Cup clash slated for Saturday. Stade Toulousain’s frightening start to the Champions Cup sees them top Group 2 while Ulster are third on the back of an inconsistent campaign. The hosts had a shaky start, losing 37-14 to Bath but recovered well to thump Racing 92 31-15. Back in the United Rugby Championship, Ulster have had a commendable start as they sit fourth. They’ve claimed victories against derby rivals Leinster and Connacht in their recent games. However, Ulster have bitter memories of their last encounter against Toulousain in the Champions Cup Round of 16. Antoine Dupont’s last-gasp try sealed a memorable 50-49 aggregate win for Toulousain after overturning a first-leg deficit.

It is no surprise that Stade Toulousain lead their group following a blistering start to the Champions Cup where they have won all their games. The manner in which they achieved the victories has sent a statement of intent with massive wins over Cardiff Rugby and Harlequins. The wins have seen them garner the most points in the competition so far (99), averaging almost 50 points per game. In the Top 14 they have been decent as they sit fourth on the log, four points off an automatic semi final place. Thomas Ramos has been in inspired form for the record Champions Cup winners, scoring the most points. His points have come from 11 conversions and a single penalty, bringing his total to 30.
