Scottish side have an impressive unbeaten run in all competitions on their artificial pitch

Ulster – for whom Eric O’Sullivan wins his 100th cap – at least return to action having addressed their alarming decline in form by winning their previous two games before the break, which were both at home against Sale in Europe and the league clash with the Stormers. But this trip to Scotstoun will undoubtedly ask some deeply probing questions regarding their apparent recovery.

Dan McFarland has made some alterations to the side which defeated the Stormers last month, with Stockdale starting and Ethan McIlroy at fullback in the absence of Michael Lowry. Kieran Treadwell comes in at lock for the missing Sam Carter and there is a rare start for Jordi Murphy with Nick Timoney switching to number eight as Duane Vermeulen is not in the 23.

John Cooney is benched again and sits alongside Luke Marshall and the rarely used Craig Gilroy and Cormac Izuchukwu on what could be a difficult evening for the visitors.O Smith; S Cancelliere, S McDowall , S Johnson, C Forbes; T Jordan, J Dobie; N McBeth, J Matthews, L Sordoni; L Bean, S Cummings; T Gordon, S Vailanu, J Dempsey.ULSTER:
