JARED PAYNE WILL make his first appearance of the season for Ulster on Friday night as the province look to extend their unbeaten Pro12 run to four games away to the Glasgow Warriors.
In total, Les Kiss makes nine personnel and positional switches from the side that defeated the Scarlets 19-8 at Kingspan Stadium last week.
Along with Payne’s return at full-back, the backline also sees Charles Piutau move to the left wing and Louis Ludik on the opposite flank.
Elsewhere, Stuart McCloskey will be partnered by Darren Cave in the centre while Ruan Pienaar and Paddy Jackson continue as the preferred half-back partnership.
