O’Donoghue out as Ulster make changes

IRELAND A lock Ed O’Donoghue drops to the bench for the first time this season as Ulster coach Matt Williams makes four changes for the Magners League clash against the Glasgow Warriors at Firhill this evening.

Australian-born O’Donoghue has started every one of Ulster’s games this season but sits this one out with Italian Carlo del Favo coming into the second row. Darren Cave, Chris Henry and Isaac Boss also drop down the replacements with Ian Whitten, Robbie Diack and Paul Marshall starting.

Williams is now determined to put a fairly below-average season behind them and improve a dismal away record which he hints at being the fault of Scottish referees.
