Ed O'Donoghue starts in the second row ahead of Italian International Carlo Del Fava who is named on the bench. Dungannon club player Thomas Anderson is named in the side, proudly following in the footsteps of his father, former Ulster player Willie Anderson.

Rory Best will captain the side and start ,despite not being named in the extended squad earlier this week.

The back line remains unchanged from the side that played Quins last weekend. Former Ulster Academy star Mark McCrea is named on the bench for the first time this season, the speedy winger will be hoping for a run out against a top Munster side.
