Ulster coach Mark McCall has made five changes to his starting line-up from the team which beat the Dragons last week for his side's Magners League game against Edinburgh at Murrayfield.
The only change in the back-line is the return of Isaac Boss at scrum-half, while up front his Ireland colleagues Rory Best and Bryan Young also return early from Ireland's pre-season conditioning programme to take their places in the front row.
Justin Harrison is ruled out with a calf injury so lock Matt McCullough makes his first Ulster start this season, partnering Tim Barker in the front row, having fully recovered from a car accident in the summer while Kieron Dawson is selected ahead of Neil McMillan in the back row.
Ulster team: Bryn Cunningham, Mark Bartholomeusz, Paul Steinmetz, Paddy Wallace, Andrew Maxwell, David Humphreys, Isaac Boss, Justin Fitzpatrick, Rory Best, Bryan Young, Tim Barker, Matt McCullough, Stephen Ferris, Kieron Dawson, Roger Wilson
Replacements: Paul Shields, Tom Court, Lewis Stevenson, Neil McMillan, Kieran Campbell, Kevin Maggs, Scott Young
