Word has reached FRU headquarters that we’re likely to see a much changed side on Friday night with a few interesting selections according to our sources.
It appears that Jared Payne is being rested, with Peter Nelson taking the full back berth, and that Ruan Pienaar will be playing at 10 with Paul Marshall at scrum half and Stuart Olding at inside centre.
Up front the expectation is that Henderson is shipped into second row alongside Tuohy, with Stevenson on the bench, and Robbie Diack returns to blindside. Mike McComish and Nick Williams should complete the back row.
Should be interesting!
Ulster: Peter Nelson, Tommy Bowe, Darren Cave, Stuart Olding, Craig Gilroy, Ruan Pineaar, Paul Marshall, Ricky Lutton, Rory Best, Tom Court, Dan Tuohy, Iain Henderson, Robbie Diack, Mike McComish, Nick Williams. Replacements: Rob Herring, Declan Fitzpatrick, Callum Black, Lewis Stevenson, Ali Birch, Niall O’Connor, Michael Allen, Adam D’Arcy . . .
