Scrum-half Kieran Campbell and wing Andrew Maxwell have been included as the only two changes to Ulster's side for the away game at The Borders this Friday evening.
Hooker Nigel Brady returns to the bench, having recovered from an eye injury sustained against Gloucester, and Scott Young returns to the 22 for this first time since Ulster played Leinster in September.
Munster put the final nail into Ulster's season at Ravenhill. Now, the Heineken Cup and Celtic League are out of reach.
Coach Mark McCall will have to drive them into a mid-table finish or he may have to reconsider his position at the end of the season.
ULSTER (v The Borders): B Cunningham; A Maxwell, J Bell, P Steinmetz, T Howe; A Larkin, K Campbell; S Best, P Shields, R Moore, R Frost, M McCullough, A Ward (capt), N Best, C Feather.
Replacements: N Brady, R McCormack, G Longwell, G Brown, N Doak, S Young, T Bowe.
