Ulster Ravens welcome Cardiff RFC to Ravenhill this Saturday for a crucial British & Irish Cup Pool 1 encounter (kick off 2.30pm).
Allen Clarke’s starting team contains 14 players who have represented Ulster at senior level, with a further three on the bench.
The team is captained by Neil McComb, who has been in impressive form in his recent RaboDirect PRO12 outings. The front five is made up entirely of Ballynahinch and Belfast Harlequins players as McComb is joined by James Simpson (second row), Conor Carey, Richard Lutton (both prop) and Niall Annett. Malone clubman Conor Joyce is in the back row along with Ali Birch and Mike McComish.
Belfast Harlequins’ half backs Michael Heaney and Stuart Olding earn starts, with Niall O’Connor and Michael Allen forming a midfield partnership. Wingers Chris Cochrane and Ricky Andrew join Adam d’Arcy in the back three.
