Ulster have slipped out an extended squad for the game against Glasgow.
The 25 player squad features the inclusion of Nick Williams, Iain Henderson, Michael Allen and Ricky Andrew to the squad that played the Dragons,with Robbie Diack and Lewis Stevenson dropping out – which is a bit of a surprise.
Extended Squad.
Forwards (13): Niall Annett, Tom Court, Callum Black, Ricky Lutton, Nick Williams, Declan Fitzpatrick, Johann Muller, Dan Tuohy, Chris Henry, Roger Wilson, Iain Henderson, Sean Doyle, Rob Herring
Backs (12): Jared Payne, Luke Marshall, Paddy Jackson, David McIlwaine, James McKinney, Paul Marshall, Darren Cave, Chris Farrell, Andrew Trimble, Ian Porter, Michael Allen, Ricky Andrew.
