The fixture will see Ronald Raaymakers make his first Ulster appearance since arriving in the Province last month from Counties Manukau in New Zealand. He will start in the second row with experienced captain Neil McComb. Contracted players Ricky Lutton and Bronson Ross will pack down either side of former Ireland U20 hooker John Andrew. Connor Joyce and Mike McComish join Charlie Butterworth in a nicely balanced back row that faced off against the same opposition in the last round.
Hughes Insurance Academy scrumhalf Conor Young is partnered at half back by Ritchie McMaster, who has made a big impression playing with Ballymena in the Ulster Bank League this season. Sam Arnold and Jacob Stockdale, inter-provincial winners with Ulster U20s back in September, are paired together in midfield. Ross Adair, Jack Owens and Ricky Andrew form an exciting back three combination.
The bench will see Paul Jackson, Dave Ryan, John Donnan and Frank Taggart provide cover for the forwards, with Josh Fullerton and Malone duo Josh Bingham and Adam Liddell also named among the replacements.
Having lost their opening three pool games by less than a score, Head Coach Kieran Campbell knows that his side are not far away from claiming their first win.
