Senior and U21 International commitments see Adam Larkin, Shane Stewart and Scott Young return to the Ulster starting side in place of David Humphreys, Kevin Maggs and Tommy Bowe for this Friday’s game against The Bulls at Ravenhill.

An leg injury sustained in training yesterday has ruled Andrew Maxwell out of contention for selection this week however Tyrone Howe has been included in the starting XV on the left wing, sufficiently recovered from an adductor injury.

Rowan Frost comes in to replace Matt McCullough in the second row who has been advised by the medical staff to keep the weight off his foot following a small knock picked up against The Ospreys.

Ulster: 15 – Bryn Cunningham; 14 – Scott Young; 13 – Paul Steinmetz; 12 – Shane Stewart; 11 – Tyrone Howe; 10 – Adam Larkin; 9 – Kieran Campbell; 1 – Simon Best; 2 – Rory Best; 3 – Rod Moore; 4 – Gary Longwell; 5 – Rowan Frost; 6 – Campbell Feather (Capt); 7 – Neil Best; 8 – Roger Wilson
Replacements from: Ronan McCormack; Paul Shields; Declan Fitzpatrick; Tim Barker; Matt Mustchin; Seamus Mallon; Paddy Wallace; Reece Spee.
