ULSTER HEAD COACH Dan McFarland has made six personnel changes to his starting XV for tomorrow’s United Rugby Championship clash with Scarlets at Kingspan Stadium in Belfast [KO 7.35pm, Premier Sports/URC TV].
With Robert Baloucoune, Mike Lowry, James Hume, Rob Herring, Kieran Treadwell, and Nick Timoney all in Portugal for Ireland’s pre-Six Nations training camp, the northern province have introduced some fresh faces as they look to continue the momentum built up in their Champions Cup wins over Northampton and Clermont.
Craig Gilroy and Rob Lyttle come in on the wings, with the latter set for his 50th Ulster cap, as Ethan McIlroy shifts to fullback. Ben Moxham has been picked at outside centre in place of Hume.

John Andrew gets a start at hooker, Sam Carter is introduced to the second row, and Greg Jones comes into the back row.
The Ulster bench includes tighthead prop Gareth Milasinovich, who is just back from a short-term loan spell at Saracens, while exciting 21-year-old wing/fullback Aaron Sexton is also involved.
Bernard Jackman, Murray Kinsella, and Gavan Casey glance ahead to the Six Nations, chat about the Irish provinces’ progress in Europe, then discuss the latest off-the-pitch drama in Welsh rugby.
