Bell’s experience of playing for Ulster began with his introduction off the bench in a 61-7 thumping of Racing 92 in the Challenge Cup in December.
His time with the northern province will end against different French opposition in the same competition, with the result unlikely to be quite as clear-cut on this occasion.
Bell expects the front row battle to be pivotal to the outcome of the contest.
“It’s exciting. They have a few big international tight-heads and Jordan Uelese in the middle there, the Wallaby, so I know him pretty well.
“They’ll definitely be there or thereabouts and definitely be competing really hard for that, but we’re equally excited for that battle.
“As a rugby player, winning is the ultimate goal for the team. You lose together, you win together, and you do most things together all week.”
Bell, who missed his side’s semi-final victory over Exeter Chiefs with a foot injury, has described his time in Belfast as “probably the best experience” of his career.
He made the move to gain experience of playing abroad, expand his rugby horizons.
“There’s so much talent coming through Ulster Rugby and it’s really exciting. I’m just happy that I get to be a small part of that, especially with all the young front-rowers we have here at the club.
“It’s been great. We all learn off each other and it’s been an awesome experience.
“I guess the best thing about rugby is making those bonds, learning and getting better together.”
