Sports Mole previews Northampton's visit to Ulster in Heineken Cup Pool 4 on Saturday.

Northampton Saints are in need of a win as they make the trip to Ulster in Heineken Cup Pool 4 on Saturday.

Last weekend's 25-6 defeat to the Irish side at Franklin's Gardens saw Jim Mallinder's team slip down to third place in the table.

First-placed Ulster can stretch their winning run to four matches in the competition with a victory on English soil.

The only change in the hosts' starting XV sees Iain Henderson come in for injured captain Johann Muller.

Meanwhile, Lee Dickson and Stephen Myler are among six new faces for Northampton.
