ULSTER HAVE NAMED a strong side featuring no fewer than 10 internationals as they bid to extend their perfect start to the new Pro14 season against Zebre (Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi, Saturday, 2.35pm).
Director of Rugby Les Kiss makes 12 changes to the side which ran in eight tries against the Dragons last week, with Charles Piutau, Darren Cave and Rodney Ah You the only players to retain their starting spot.
Andrew Trimble, who will equal Roger Wilson’s record of 221 appearances for the province, is named as team captain, while hooker John Andrew makes his first start of the season.
