Black to make 100th Ulster appearance
The Ulster team has been named for Friday's
match against reigning PRO12 champions, Glasgow Warriors, in
which Callum Black will earn his 100th cap for the Province.
The loosehead prop joined Ulster from Worcester in 2011 and has racked up 99 appearances to date, including 13 this season.
Sam Windsor will make his competitive debut for Ulster after being selected at outhalf by Director of Rugby, Les Kiss. The 28-year-old replaces Ian Humphreys, who suffered a concussion in the 17-15 win over Newport Gwent Dragons last weekend.
Stuart McCloskey will start in midfield alongside Darren Cave, facilitating Stuart Olding's switch to fullback. Jacob Stockdale and Craig Gilroy will line out on the wings, with Ruan Pienaar continuing at scrumhalf.
The front row of Black, captain Rob Herring and Ricky Lutton remains unchanged from the Dragons encounter. Franco van der Merwe returns to the team after a well-earned rest last week; he will partner Alan O'Connor in the second row.
Robbie Diack, Sean Reidy and Nick Williams will form an explosive loose forward combination.
Chris Henry, who has not featured for Ulster since picking up a shoulder injury in December, has returned to the fray and has been included among the replacements.
John Andrew, Kyle McCall, Bronson Ross, Roger Wilson, Paul Marshall, Paddy Jackson and Sammy Arnold are the other members of the match day squad.
