Ulster ring changes for Cardiff clash
Ulster have made six changes to their side for this Sunday's Heineken Cup tie against Cardiff Blues.
Paddy Wallace and Andrew Maxwell replace Bryn Cunningham and Tyrone Howe in the backs, with Cunningham dropping to the bench.
Elsewhere, Paul Shields and Ronan McCormack come into the front row in place of Rory Best and Rod Moorre, who will both start on the bench, while Rowan Frost and Andy Ward also replace Gary Longwell and Campbell Feather.
Simon Best will also move position from loose to tight-head prop, while scrum-half Reece Spee is named ahead of Neil Doak in the replacements.
Ulster need a virtual miracle to qualify for the quarter-final of the competition and must score four points for a win and one bonus point this weekend to be in with a chance of progressing.
The full Ulster side:
P Wallace, T Bowe, P Steinmetz, K Maggs, T Howe, D Humphreys, K Campbell, R McCormack, P Shields, S Best, R Frost, M McCullough, A Ward, N Best, R Wilson.
Replacements:
R Best, R Moore, M Mustchin, C Feather, R Spee, A Larkin, B Cunningham.
