Team News: Ulster caretaker coach Steve Williams has made a number of changes ahead of their Heineken Cup encounter with Ospreys at Ravenhill tomorrow night.
Niall O'Connor and Kieran Campbell form the halfbacks partnership with Irish Internationals Paddy Wallace and Isaac Boss left to warm the bench.
"Kieran Campbell hasn't had much game time and when he does come on the field he looks so sharp and this is his chance," said Williams. "Niall has looked good when he has played and I just feel that this is the time to give him an opportunity at this level to see what he can do."
Scottish International Rob Dewey returns to the starting XV with Mark McCrea acting as cover on the bench.
Justin Fitzpatrick has been omitted from the squad with Bryan Young moving to loosehead prop and Declan Fitzpatrick named as tighthead prop.
"Justin has played every game so far this season and trains so hard every day I just felt he deserved a weekend off to recharge his batteries," said Williams. "We cannot afford to have a senior player getting injured a this stage in the season. I am looking forward to seeing how Bryan and Declan get on."
Kieron Dawson has been on the bench for the last two games, but will start in the backrow. The former London Irish player scored a try on each of his last two starts for his province. Justin Harrison and Ryan Caldwell form the secondrow partnership with Matt McCullough named at number eight once more.
There was also news that Ulster have signed 28-year-old Grant Webb from New Zealand as backrow cover until the end of the season. Stephen Ferris (ankle) and Roger Wilson (hand) are both out of action for anything up to six weeks. Webb will arrive in Belfast early next week.
Ulster Rugby Chief Executive Michael Reid also said they hoped to have their new coach in place by the New Year.
"While it will be tight to Christmas we hope to have everything sorted out before then," said Reid hoping to have the new coach in place before the province take on Munster at home on January 4th.
