Jacob Stockdale coughs up possession but we go back for a penalty and Jake Flannery punts into the corner.

Ulster gain a scrum on halfway almost instantly and then a penalty.

They run it and Stuart McCloskey bursts into the opposing 22.

Ospreys' Dan Edwards gets us under way at the Affidea Stadium in Belfast.

Ulster head coach Richie Murphy says his squad must feed off the positive experiences of their Ireland players in the recent Six Nations as they prepare to enter the business end of the season.

Ulster players, including player-of-the-tournament candidate Stuart McCloskey and back row Nick Timoney, played significant roles as the Irish team won their final four matches to finish second in the championship and achieve the 'Triple Crown'.

Murphy has all his Ireland internationals available again for Saturday's European Challenge Cup last-16 game against Ospreys in Belfast (20:00 BST), while the Irish province also have a home quarter-final berth in the United Rugby Championship very much in their sights.

"I think the great thing for us is that we can feed off the back of their [the players involved with Ireland] success. The players that were in all acquitted themselves really well," reflected the Ulster coach.

"This is the first week that we've all been back together. Some lads were off last week, some were off the week before, so it's exciting to get everyone back in the same building and it's really important that we build towards this game and also looking at the end of the season.

"Confidence is really high and we need to feed off the back of that, grow our team and really attack these last weeks of the season."

Cormac Izuchukwu returns to the starting lineup for Ulster's Challenge Cup last-16 match with Ospreys this evening.

The athletic lock will make his first appearance for the club since being removed for a head injury assessment in the win over Edinburgh on 13 March.

His return is one of seven changes made by head coach Richie Murphy for the visit of the Welsh side to the Affidea Stadium.

Australia international Angus Bell and Tom O'Toole come into the front row with Juarno Augustus given a starting position after his impressive performance off the bench against Zebre last week.

Nathan Doak and Jake Flannery return as the half-back pairing while Jacob Stockdale comes in for Zak Ward on the wing.

Ospreys have made four changes to their team from the side that lost to Connacht last week with Gareth Thomas, Sam Parry and Morgan Morris coming into the forwards and Rueben Morgan-Williams the only change in the backline.

Ospreys are without Wales hooker Dewi Lake but flanker Jac Morgan leads the side as he continues his return from the shoulder problem that forced him to miss the Six Nations.

Ulster: McIlroy; Kok, Hume, McCloskey, Stockdale; Flannery, Doak: Bell, Herring, O'Toole; Henderson, Izuchukwu; McCann, Timoney, Augustus.
