Va'a returns for Warriors

The team also sees Johnnie Beattie reclaim the no.8 jersey with Kelly Brown moving to blindside flanker.

Head coach Sean Lineen said: "This is the last of our run of home games against Irish opposition and it's going to be the hardest.

"There is no way Ulster are a bottom of the league side. They have strong running backs and a powerful pack.

"But the best is still to come from Glasgow and I've been very impressed with the way the boys have prepared for this one."

Tickets for the game are priced at £15 for adults and £5 for concessions (under 18s, students & OAPs) and can be purchased by calling the Ticket Hotline on 0844 800 3490 or by logging onto www.glasgowwarriors.org
