Ulster team named for Glasgow clash

The Ulster match-day squad has been named to take on Glasgow Warriors in Round 5 of the Guinness PRO14 at Kingspan Stadium on Monday (kick-off 8.15pm). There are eight changes to the side that defeated Cardiff Blues at Rodney Parade last Monday. Michael Lowry has been retained at full-back, with Matt Faddes and Craig Gilroy joining him in the back three. Luke Marshall – who returned last week from injury off the bench – will make his first start of the season, pairing with Stewart Moore in midfield. Ian Madigan has been selected at fly-half, with John Cooney starting at scrum-half. Marcell Coetzee returns to the side and is joined in the back-row by Matty Rea – who made his 50th appearance for Ulster last week – and Sean Reidy. Sam Carter will lead the Ulster men from the second row and will partner Kieran Treadwell. Jack McGrath comes in to start at loosehead, with John Andrew being given the nod at hooker, and Marty Moore keeping the tighthead starting berth. Eric O’Sullivan could make his 50th appearance for the province if called upon from the Ulster replacements. He is named alongside Adam McBurney, Gareth Milasinovich, Alan O’Connor and Marcus Rea in the forwards, while David Shanahan, Bill Johnston and Ethan McIlroy offer back line cover.
