Ulster have revealed their matchday squad for the Heineken Champions Cup last 16 clash with Leinster on Saturday.
Irish internationals Rob Herring, Tom O'Toole and Stuart McCloskey all return while Alan O'Connor captains the side.
O'Connor will be partnered at second row by Kieran Treadwell, who made his return to the Ulster squad in last weekend’s home win against the Vodacom Bulls.
Ulster Academy product Dave McCann starts at blindside flanker and is joined in the back row by the experienced pairing of Nick Timoney and Duane Vermeulen.
Packing down in the front row are returning internationals Rory Sutherland, hooker Rob Herring and Tom O’Toole.
Behind the pack, the in-form Nathan Doak keeps the number nine jersey with Billy Burns returning at fly half.
Stuart McCloskey and James Hume line out at centre while the back three remains unchanged from last week’s match.
Jacob Stockdale starts on the left wing, Rob Baloucoune on the right wing while Mike Lowry completes the 15 at full back.
