IT’S KINGSPAN RATHER than Cardiff for Jared Payne this weekend as Ulster face Zebre in their rescheduled Pro12 clash [Saturday, 6.05pm, BBC].
Expected by many to feature in Ireland’s matchday 23 against Wales, fit-again Payne will instead start at fullback against the Italian side.
A win would see Ulster leapfrog Scarlets into the playoff places, and Les Kiss makes five changes to the side which beat Treviso last time out.
Luke Marshall and Jacob Stockdale form an all-new partnership in midfield while up front, Al O’Connor, Robbie Diack and Chris Henry all start.
Stuart Olding, who started at inside centre last week but moved to out-half in the latter stages, starts at 10.
