Trimble and Court return for Ulster

Ulster have made three changes to the side that defeated Benetton Treviso last weekend for Friday night’s clash with the Dragons at Ravenhill.

Andrew Trimble comes in for Craig Gilroy, who has been in magnificent form of late, but will not be eligible for the Heineken Cup clash with Bath next weekend as he is not ERC registered.

Irish international Tom Court comes into the front row instead of Bryan Young, who drops to the bench, while Ian Whitten replaces Paddy Wallace, who misses out with a back injury.

Ulster’s clash with the Dragons kicks off at Ravenhill on Friday evening at 7.05pm.

Ulster: Adam D'Arcy; Andrew Trimble, Darren Cave, Ian Whitten, Simon Danielli; Ian Humphreys, Paul Marshall; Tom Court, Nigel Brady, BJ Botha, Tim Barker, Dan Tuohy, Pedrie Wannenburg, Willie Faloon, Chris Henry (Captain)

Replacements: Andi Kyriacou, Paddy McAllister, Bryan Young, Neil McComb, Stephen Ferris, Ruan Pienaar, Niall O'Connor, Nevin Spence
