MUNSTER AND ULSTER have both named exciting young utility backs in the number 15 jersey for tomorrow’s inter-provincial clash at Thomond Park (KO 19.35).

JJ Hanrahan and Stuart Olding will again fill the fullback roles and line up opposite each other in this Pro12 encounter building up to next weekend’s European Cup action.

Anthony Foley has made five changes to the side that defeated the Dragons last time out with BJ Botha and Duncan Casey bolstering the front row.

The back row also sees a major reshuffle with Robin Copeland moved to blindside to accommodate CJ Stander at number eight, and Paddy Butler named at number seven.

Ulster have been able to name captain Rory Best at hooker after he made a return from injury in Ireland’s win over the Wallabies last week.

Robbie Diack is named among the replacements along with wing Michael Allen on his return from shoulder injury.
