Speaking yesterday, Macmillan raised further uncertainty around his future with the province.

As always, Alan Quinlan joined Mick McCarthy, Dara Smith-Nocton and Keith Tracy on Off The Ball Breakfast this morning.

He gave his view on what will be a crucial couple of games in Macmillan's debut season at the helm.

Ulster can move clear of Connacht in the standings with a win tonight in Belfast.

They host the league leaders Stormers at Afidea Stadium.

The big boost for Richie Murphy's side is the return of Angus Bell and Scott Wilson from injury.

Wallaby's loose head Bell gets the nod to start while Wilson is on the bench.

Head coach Murphy revealed that tonight's game came just a little too soon for hooker Rob Herring.

in his recovery from a calf issue.

Jacob Stockdale, Stuart McCloskey and Dave McCann are unavailable this week.

They all came off injured in last weekend's Challenge Cup semi-final win over Exeter Chiefs.

Speaking of the Chiefs, to finish up today, a takeover of the franchise by the American owners of Premier League club Bournemouth has been approved.

Members and shareholders voted in favour of the bid at a special general meeting last night.

If the takeover goes through, then Bill Foley's Can I Holdings will take full control of the Prem Rugby side and provide multi-million pound funding.

That's about all for today's Rugby Daily.
