Head Coach Allen Clarke has made four changes to the Ulster Ravens team to face Cardiff RFC in the British & Irish Cup on Saturday (Cardiff Arms Park, 2.30pm kick off).
Three of those changes come in the pack. Alan O’Connor has taken over in the second row from Neil McComb, who is involved in the Heineken Cup squad. Adam Macklin comes in at tighthead and Andrew Warwick, who helped Ballymena retain the First Trust Senior Cup on Wednesday evening, has been given the nod at loosehead. Niall Annett will join those two in the front row and will also take over the captaincy from his Belfast Harlequins colleague McComb.
The unchanged back row of Conor Joyce, Ali Birch and Mike McComish will be hoping to enjoy another fine outing after helping the Ravens defeat Cardiff 40-14 at Ravenhill last weekend.
The one change in the backs will see Rory Scholes come in for Chris Cochrane on the left wing, with Ricky Andrew and Adam D’Arcy completing the back . . .
