Ulster Under 19 head coach Ricky Andrew has named his matchday squad for Saturday afternoon’s PwC Interprovincial Championship clash with Connacht at Affidea Stadium. Kick-off 3.30pm.
There’s a familiar look to the pack with Andrew sticking with the eight players that started last week’s defeat to Munster.
Elias Agbonkpolar, Charlie Reaney and Noah Carson start in the front row, with Archie Graham and Charlie Best remaining in the second row.
In the back row, captain Jayden Irwin is joined by Theo Scott at blindside and Cian McClean at number 8.
Behind the scrum it’s a different story.

Campbell College’s Aaron Lowey is the only player to retain the same position as last week. Lowey starts on the right wing while Josh McCaughey moves from centre to fly-half.
Joining McCaughey at half back is Omagh Academy’s Sam Harper, while Isaac Hatch and Paul Henry form a new centre partnership.
Ryan Hamilton comes in on the left wing with Dromore High School’s Alfie Clarke being named at full back.
