Ulster have made six personnel changes and one positional switch
from the team which beat Edinburgh for Saturday's Pro12 game against
Zebre in Italy.
Ricky Andrew starts at full-back, with Craig Gilroy moving to the left wing.
Ireland fly-half Paddy Jackson returns to the line-up while Tom Court comes in at loosehead prop.
Neil McComb and Dan Tuohy are selected in the second row, with Mike McComish in at openside flanker and Robbie Diack again captaining the side.
Andrew impressed as a replacement against the Scots at Ravenhill last week and was a try-scorer in Ulster's win over Zebre at Ravenhill last season.
Andrew Trimble continues on the right wing, alongside Darren Cave and Luke Marshall, who keep their places in midfield.
Paul Marshall forms the half-back partnership with Jackson, but prop Callum Black drops to the bench to make way for Court.

Robbie Diack and Andrew Trimble look forward to Ulster's game with Zebre
Ulster's injury worries have mounted in recent weeks, with Rory Best likely to be the longest absentee after suffering a broken arm in Ireland's last-gasp 24-22 defeat by New Zealand.
Best underwent surgery on Tuesday morning and is expected to return to rugby in mid to late January.
Henderson is out for about six weeks with a hamstring tear, while Stevenson could be absent for a similar period after sustaining ligament damage to his right knee.
Number eight Nick Williams was forced to withdraw from the line-up to face Edinburgh with a recurrence of a calf injury and the Kiwi is expected to be out of action for four to six weeks.
Concussion victim Michael Allen is named among the replacements, while Johann Muller and Jared Payne are also absentees because of injury.
Meanwhile scrum-half Ian Porter irritated his AC joint ahead of the Edinburgh game and is expected to be unavailable for two weeks.
Ulster lie fifth in the table, with Zebre 11th, one place above Connacht.
The game is Ulster's last before they return to Heineken Cup action with a double-header against Benetton Treviso on Saturday 7 December and Saturday 14 December.
