Director of Rugby Kiss says Ulster will adapt to weather conditions

Ulster Director of Rugby Les Kiss says the forecast of stormy conditions for Friday's Pro12 game with Connacht in Belfast has led the province to "put a few adjustments in their game preparations".

"The reality of dealing with what the conditions may throw at us is a factor," said Kiss, who adds that the Irish province will "take the positives and move forward" following the weekend Champions Cup defeat by Clermont Auvergne.

Kiss expects to have his Ireland internationals available for selection and indicates that Kieran Treadwell is likely to start in the second row at Kingspan Stadium.
