Jacob Stockdale is in line to make his 150th apperance for Ulster in Saturday’s United Rugby Championship match against Glasgow Warriors in Scotstoun (17:30 BST).<\/p>\n
Stockdale is one of four Ireland internationals who return to the starting line-up from last week’s defeat by Edinburgh in Belfast.<\/p>\n
Tom Stewart, Cormac Izuchukwu and Bryn Ward are all named in the side, while new signings Keynan Knox, Matthew Devine and Chay Mullins are set to make their first starts.<\/p>\n
Stewart and Knox come into the front row to join Eric O’Sullivan, while Izuchukwu comes into the second row where he will partner Eli Snyman.<\/p>\n
In the back row, Bryn Ward comes in for his season bow at number eight with last week’s player of the match David McCann switching to open-side flanker and academy player James McKillop at blind-side.<\/p>\n
Jack Murphy retains his place at fly-half, but will be partnered by Devine, who starts for the first time having made his debut off the bench last week.<\/p>\n
In midfield, Jamie Benson retains his place at inside centre but will be partnered this week by Ethan McIlroy at outside, while it is all change in the back three.<\/p>\n
Michael Lowry and Robert Baloucoune suffered concussions against Edinburgh, with Stockdale in at full-back and former Connacht player Mullins in at right-wing, while Zac Ward comes in for his first start of the campaign on the left.<\/p>\n
Nathan Doak and Juarno Augustus have been deemed fit for a place on the bench that has a 6-2 split.<\/p>\n
Ulster: Stockdale; Mullins, McIlroy, Benson, Z Ward; Murphy, Devine; O’Sullivan, Stewart, Knox; Izuchukwu, Snyman; McKillop, McCann, B Ward.<\/p>\n
Replacements: Walker, McAllister, Bello, Donnell, McNabney, Doak, Flannery, Augustus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jacob Stockdale is in line to make his 150th apperance for Ulster in Saturday’s United Rugby Championship match…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":912410,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85],"class_list":["post-912409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-rugby","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/912409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=912409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/912409\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/912410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=912409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=912409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=912409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
