PADDY JACKSON AND Darren Cave have been named in the Ulster team to face Munster at Thomond Park on Friday.

Meanwhile, fellow Ireland Rugby World Cup squad member, Chris Henry, has been named on the bench for the province.

There are two other changes for Ulster, who are looking to extend their unbeaten run at Kingspan Stadium to 14 Pro12 games.

Peter Nelson returns to the team at full-back following last week’s win over Cardiff Blues, while Andy Warwick comes in for Callum Black at loosehead prop.

Ulster are currently in fifth place in the Pro12 table and trail third place Munster by two points.

Anthony Foley’s side’s unbeaten run in the competition came to an end following the last-gasp 25-22 loss to Scarlets last week.
