Ulster name Stewart as captain for URC opener against Zebre

No place for Nick Timoney in starting line-up.

ULSTER HAVE APPOINTED 22-year-old Tom Stewart as their captain as they travel to Italy to face Zebre Parma in Round 1 .

The youthful out-half partnership consists of scrum-half Nathan Doak and Jake Flannery at fly-half. Both players made their first competitive starts for Ulster against Zebre Parma.
