Ireland international, Iain Henderson, will start his first match of the season for Ulster, against Leicester Tigers at Kingspan Stadium tomorrow evening (kick off 17:30).
The 22 year-old suffered a hip-injury in pre-season and comes back into the side at blindside flanker.
The return of Henderson is one of eight changes to the starting XV that lost to Toulon in Stade Mayol last weekend.
Ireland Internationals Tommy Bowe, Luke Marshall, Craig Gilroy and Rory Best all return to the team. The other changes see Ian Humphreys named at outhalf, Callum Black selected at loosehead and Wiehahn Herbst picked at tighthead.
Jared Payne continues at fullback with Bowe starting on the right wing and Gilroy on the left.
Darren Cave maintains his place in midfield alongside the returning Marshall who is picked at inside-centre.
Ruan Pienaar, who passed the 200-point mark for Ulster in Europe, against Toulon, partners Humphreys in the half-backs.
Black, Best and Herbst form the new-look front row with Alan O’Connor and Franco van der Merwe continuing their partnership in the second-row.
Henderson is joined in the back row by double try-scorer in Stade Mayol, Mike McComish, who starts at openside and Roger Wilson who continues at Number 8.
Forwards, Rob Herring, Andrew Warwick, Bronson Ross, Lewis Stevenson and Clive Ross and Neil McComb are named as replacements.
Backs Paul Marshall and Michael Allen complete the match-day squad.
