The Ulster team to play Glasgow this Friday night at Ravenhill (ko 7.05pm) has been named.

Rory Best will captain the side in a match which will see him make his 100th competitive appearance for Ulster.

Amongst the backs there are two positional changes as Paddy Wallace is restored to the inside centre position after playing at out-half against Connacht last weekend and Andrew Trimble reverts to the wing from the centre. Scottish international Simon Danielli returns to action following shoulder surgery in the summer while new signing Ruan Pienaar will make a much anticipated debut in front of the Ravenhill crowd in the scrum-half position, partnering Niall O’Connor at out-half.

Up front Ulster retain Young, Best and Court in the front row while Johann Muller, who was rested for last weekend’s match against Connacht returns to the second row, partnered for the first time this season by Dan Tuohy. In the back row Pedrie Wannenburg moves to cover the blindside berth in the absence of the injured Stephen Ferris, Chris Henry retains the openside shirt while Robbie Diack returns to the starting line-up at No.8.

    Then again you may be questioning why his omission from the bench

    with 3 potential outhalfs on the field an outhalf on the bench is waste

    Why has there to be story behind the omission of IH ? The reasons have been evident for a long time.

    The track record and approach to the game adopted by BeeMac is self evident in the squad

    — sound defence — big pack — low risk — attack limited to between the opponents goal line and 10 metre line

    Plus the fact that IH lacks the essential temperament to perform consistantly in a 15 -a-side game

    Yep Peat, I think Hockey Boy must be moonlighting with the UR Press Releases. Did I tell you about the time he mistook Simon Danielli for Ed O’Donoghue – only a couple of weeks ago. Went up and asked Danielli what he was doing back!

    One of the few times I was speechless!

    I’m intrigued to learn that Trimble was playing centre last week. Maybe if someone had told him they were trialling a revoluntionary 3 centres, 1 wing formation and that there was no point hanging about out wide, he wouldn’t have spent all match staying out there and getting really frustrated…
