Chris Wyles will start on the left wing for the second consecutive week as Saracens travel to Belfast to face Ulster on Friday in the second round of the European Champions Cup. The London-based club hammered a distracted Toulouse side in the opener last week, and have retained the majority of the lineup, changing only two spots in the starting lineup. Schalk Brits and Jacques Burger come in with Jamie George on the bench and Will Fraser left out.
Joining George in the reserves are two World Cup Pumas in prop Juan Figallo and Marcelo Bosch, both of whom made appearances as substitutes on Saturday. Neither Titi Lamositele nor Hayden Smith are in the match day roster.
Saracens have enjoyed a great start to their 2015-16 campaign, winning all five matches they have played including their four opening Aviva Premiership games. Ulster’s opening round match against Oyonnax was postponed along with three others after the events in Paris. They sit in 5th spot on the Guinness Pro 12 table, tied with Glasgow Warriors, after winning four of their opening seven matches.
