PRO14 BOOTROOM

SOUTHERN KINGS v ULSTER Port Elizabeth, 1.15pm (Irish time) TEAM NEWS: With Iain Henderson left at home, in-form second row Alan O’Connor, prop Tom O’Toole and flanker Sean Reidy come into the Ulster pack, while the backline remains unchanged. The Kings have made four changes, included their most-capped player Schalk Ferreira at prop.

VERDICT: Ulster WHY: The Kings are the Pro14’s weakest outfit and Ulster have enough firepower to keep their winning start going and help address the issue of their inconsistency on the road.
