That constitutes the only 12 minutes which Kelleher has played thus far in this campaign, and he will again be backed up by Rob Herring, who has yet to play a competitive minute for Ulster this season due to a calf issue. The latter’s frontrow team-mate Tom O’Toole is named on the bench on foot of Bealham’s promotion, while the Ulster captain Iain Henderson is also promoted to the replacements instead of Ryan Baird. Murray and Osborne complete the bench, and the latter’s versatility suggests he will be covering midfield and the back three, with Ciarán Frawley thus more of an out-and-out back-up to Crowley.
