The kick-off time for tomorrow's Guinness Inteprovincial between Connacht and Ulster at the Sportsground has been moved from 3.15 p.m. to 4.00. The alteration has been decided by the IRFU because of the nationwide Memorial Services being held in the aftermath of the Omagh bombing. As a mark of respect, players in both interpros this weekend will wear black armbands.

Ulster's Director of Rugby Harry Williams has, not surprisingly, kept faith in the team which impressively accounted for Leinster last Friday by announcing an unchanged line-up for the game in Galway tomorrow.
