Two changes for Ulster





The Ulster starting XV and replacements to face Leinster in the Heineken Cup Final at Twickenham tomorrow (5pm) has two changes from the side that beat Edinburgh in the semi-final.

Neither change comes as a surprise with Kiwi John Afoa returning to the front row and Chris Henry making his return to the back row.

Brian McLaughlin has gone for Paddy Jackson at fly-half again with Ian Humphreys named on the bench.

Paddy Wallace partners Darren Cave in midfield with Craig Gilroy and Andrew Trimble occupying the wings. Fullback Stefan Terblanche and Ruan Pienaar complete the backline.

Tom Court and Rory Best join Afoa in the front row with Dan Tuohy and Johann Muller starting in second row.

Stephen Ferris and Pedrie Wannenburg form a familiar back row alongside Henry.

Ulster: Stefan Terblanche; Andrew Trimble, Darren Cave, Paddy Wallace, Craig Gilroy; Paddy Jackson, Ruan Pienaar (1-8) Tom Court, Rory Best, John Afoa, Johann Muller (Captain), Dan Tuohy, Stephen Ferris, Chris Henry, Pedrie Wannenburg.

Replacements: Nigel Brady, Paddy McAllister, Declan Fitzpatrick, Lewis Stevenson, Willie Faloon, Paul Marshall, Ian Humphreys, Adam D'Arcy.

We will be standing up with the Ulster men on our live Heineken Cup blog from London at 4pm tomorrow. Well worth a look.
