Ulster side travel to Edinburgh for final fixture
- 2071
Ulster Head Coach, Richie Murphy, has named his team to take on Edinburgh at Hive Stadium in Round 18 of the BKT United Rugby Championship tomorrow night. (KO: 7.35pm)
Long-serving stalwarts Andrew Warwick and Kieran Treadwell are in line for their final appearances in an Ulster jersey.
There is one change to the front row who started against Munster last weekend, with Tom O'Toole starting at tighthead prop, alongside Rob Herring at hooker and Warwick at loosehead prop.
The second row has one change, with Treadwell joining captain Iain Henderson, as this weekend's lock pairing.
Cormac Izuchukwu starts at blindside flanker, with Nick Timoney at openside flanker and David McCann completing the forward pack at number eight.
The half-backs remain unchanged, with Nathan Doak starting at scrum-half and Jack Murphy at fly-half. Last weekend's two try-scorers, Stuart McCloskey and Jude Postlethwaite, keep their midfield partnership going at inside and outside centre respectively.
The back three sees one change, with South African wing, Werner Kok, starting on the right flank. Jacob Stockdale retains his position on the left wing and Michael Lowry lines up at full-back.
Murphy opts for a 5:3 split on the bench, with Tom Stewart, Callum Reid, Scott Wilson, Harry Sheridan and James McNabney providing the forward reinforcements. Dave Shanahan, Aidan Morgan and Stewart Moore are the backline options.
