Ulster are expected to be handed a big boost ahead of this weekend's historic Heineken Cup clash with Stade Francais in Belgium.
The Irish province travel to Brussels on a real high having beaten their French opponents in Belfast on Saturday.
And the mood in the Ulster camp will be even more positive for Saturday's rematch thanks to the news that BJ Botha is likely to be available for selection.
The South African World Cup winner missed the 23-13 triumph at Ravenill with a knee injury he picked up when representing his country against Ireland on November 28.
But the 29-year-old, who has 19 caps for the Springboks, is expected to be given the all clear to return to action for the crucial Round 4 encounter at the King Baudouin Stadium.
If Botha is cleared to play, he is likely replace Declan Fitzgerald in the front row as Brian McLaughlin's men look to consolidate their position at the head of the group.
Ireland international Paddy Wallace is not expected to play a part against Stade, however, as he continues to struggle with the ankle injury that prevented him from featuring against the same opposition four days ago.
