Three changes for Ulster ahead of visit of table-toppers Glasgow

Ian Humphreys is named at 10 in place of the injured Paddy Jackson.

ULSTER HEAD COACH,Neil Doak has made three changes to the side that beat Edinburgh 30-0 last week for the visit of table-toppers Glasgow Warriors to Kingspan Stadium tomorrow evening.

With Paddy Jackson injured, Ian Humphreys is named at out-half and will make his 88th appearance for the province. The rest of the backline is unchanged, with Louis Ludik at fullback, Andrew Trimble on the right wing and Tommy Bowe on the left.

Man of the match from last week, Stuart McCloskey, continues at inside centre, alongside Jared Payne with Paul Marshall partnering Humphreys in the halfbacks.

There are two changes in the pack. Andrew Warwick is selected at loosehead in place of Ruaidhri Murphy. Ulster captain, Rory Best, maintains his place at hooker with Wiehahn Herbst retained at tighthead.

Alan O’Connor, who impressed on his first start for Ulster last week, keeps his place in the second row and starts alongside Franco van der Merwe.

In the back row, Ireland internationals Chris Henry and Robbie Diack start either side of Nick Williams who is selected at eight in place of Roger Wilson.

Wilson is named as a replacement along with fellow forwards Rob Herring, Callum Black, Bronson Ross and Lewis Stevenson.

Backs Michael Heaney, Stuart Olding and Craig Gilroy complete the squad.

Luke Marshall is unavailable as he has a slight groin strain. He will be assessed on Monday to determine the extent of the injury.
