Matt Williams has named his Ulster starting XV to face Scarlets on Saturday 16th May the last Magners League game of the season.

Ulster hooker Nigel Brady will captain the side, while Rory Best is out with a thigh injury. After his performance in Galway last weekend, Isaac Boss will once again start at fullback, with Clinton Schifcofske taking to the bench.

Ulster start their final game with many experienced players not selected due to injury. Declan Fitzpatrick starts at tight head prop, due to BJ Botha's neck injury, while Ian Whitten starts at inside centre, allowing Paddy Wallace to recover from a head injury.

Matt McCullough is back starting at blind side flank, while Stephen Ferris is rested ahead of the Lion's Tour to South Africa.

Ulster XV v Scarlets in the Magners League on Saturday, 7.30pm:

Forwards: Bryan Young, Nigel Brady (Capt), Declan Fitzpatrick, Ed O'Donoghue, Ryan Caldwell, Matt McCullough, Chris Henry, Robbie Diack

Backs: Cillian Willis, Niall O'Connor, Simon Danielli, Ian Whitten, Darren Cave, Timoci Nagusa, Isaac Boss
