From the UR site

Mark McCall has named his side to face Glasgow this Saturday at Ravenhill, kick off 3.30pm

ULSTER: 15 - Bryn Cunningham; 14 - Tommy Bowe; 13 - Kevin Maggs; 12 - Andrew Trimble; 11 - James Topping; 10 - David Humphreys; 9 - Kieran Campbell; 1 - Bryan Young; 2 - Rory Best; 3 - Simon Best (Captain); 4 - Justin Harrison; 5 - Rowan Frost; 6 - Neil Best; 7 - Neil McMillan; 8 - Roger Wilson
Replacements: 16 - Nigel Brady; 17 - Justin Fitzpatrick; 18 - Ryan Caldwell; 19 - Stephen Ferris; 20 - Isaac Boss; 21 - Adam Larkin; 22 - Jonny Bell

The starting line-up shows two changes from that which was defeated by Connacht at the Sportsground last Saturday. Paul Steinmetz sustained a leg injury in that match and while his scan has come back clear he was not available for selection this week and is replaced by James Topping, Matt McCullough is also ruled out though injury though he has also had a scan which is clear. Bryan Young replaces Justin Fitzpatrick at loosehead.

back to a two winger formation at last - though the absence of Steiner is not welcome. Hope they stop pi55ing aroung with Humphs positioning now.

A win is required

It certainly couldn't be seen as encouragement to one of our younger players.

I think more changes were called for, to shake a few up after the last couple of performances and to rest a few others prior to Biarritz

Bar an injury crisis or a miracle Maxy Scott Young and Paddy Wallace are out of the equation.

Seems very unfair on Maxy. What did he do wrong? Scott never really impressed any time I saw him and I won't revive any discussion on Paddy W.

Perhaps Dinger will come on as an impact substitute and score 2 tries, thus doubling his record since 1999!!?? Perhaps not!!

he is certain to make an impact - on the ground when he runs!

Pete

Not as great an impact as Shane S would have surely??

shane stewart and bell are both as big as each other. they make more of a mark on the pitch than simon best

Good to see 2 wingers back it will save all this running around changing positions lark and perhaps let the players get on with running forwards instead of running back up the pitch after the opposition

Where's the poll Freddie
