IAIN HENDERSON RETURNS to captain Ulster as one of three personnel changes made by Dan McFarland ahead of Friday night’s crucial Guinness Pro14 trip to Edinburgh [KO 7.35pm, BT].
Meanwhile, fellow Ireland international Jacob Stockdale starts at fullback as the northern province look to bounce back after last weekend’s 30-7 defeat to Glasgow Warriors.
Victory at Murrayfield would see Ulster secure a place in the play-offs.
