Fitzpatrick takes over from injured Botha in Ulster line-up

AN injury picked up by BJ Botha in his surprise appearance for South Africa against Ireland last week has forced Ulster to make a change in the front row for tonight’s Magners League clash with Glasgow Warriors at Ravenhill (8 pm).

Declan Fitzpatrick takes over from Botha to join Tom Court and Andy Kyriacou in the front row. It is not the only area of change, with Timoci Nagusa, Simon Danielli, Darren Cave and Ian Whitten also returning in the backline.

The game is an opportunity for talented youngster David Pollock to shine. He gets his first start of the season after recovering from injury. He takes over from the injured Stephen Ferris in a side captained by Chris Henry.
