ULSTER HAVE RUNG the changes for tomorrow’s Magners League clash with Edinburgh at Murrayfield (kick-off 7.05pm)

Adam D’Arcy, Mark McCrea, Paddy McAllister, Dan Tuohy and Chris Henry have all been drafted into the visitors’  team as coach Brian McLaughlin makes both personnel and positional changes to the side that lost out to Biarritz Olympique last weekend.

With Simon Danielli ruled out by a shoulder injury, David McIlwaine moves from full-back to the left wing and Australian D’Arcy takes over at 15. McCrea will make his first competitive start of the season on the right wing, while Ireland man Andrew Trimble joins Ian Whitten in the centre.

Ian Humphreys makes way for Paddy Wallace at out-half.

Ulster captain Rory Best said is looking forward to a return to Magners League action: “Murayfield is a very, very difficult place to go, and Edinburgh are a very dangerous team,” he said on the Irish Rugby website this lunchtime.

Over the years, we’ve done alright there without being fantastic. We’d a good bonus point win there last season when our backs were against the wall, so we have no fear going there.

But, at the same time, we have to respect Edinburgh for what they are and that’s a very good rugby team.”
