Ulster take on Glasgow tonight in a repeat of last years semi final when Ulster lost out narrowly with a late Glasgow try.

Stuart Olding gets a run out at fullback with the opportunity to show what he can do attacking from deep. Cave and man-of-the-season McCloskey make up the midfield and Stockdale takes his place on the wing again after an iffy performance last week.

The Duke / Barbara gets his first start for Ulster at 10 and all eyes will be on him. By all accounts he is genuinely pish poor, but questions remain whether or not it's actually possible to be worse than Ian Humphreys. Tonight will go some way to proving whether or not this is possible.

In the pack Ulster look pretty decent with Callum Black getting his 100th cap and VDM returning after a rest last week. Chris Henry makes a return to the bench.

Also on the bench is Paddy Jackson, fresh out of Carton House having honed his tackle bag holding skills.

Prediction

Ulster will win this.
