RaboDirect PRO12: Ulster v Ospreys

First Ulster start for young Olding

Olding, who played full-back for the Ireland U20 side in Wales last weekend, will slot in at fly-half. The Ulster Academy star has made three appearances when coming on as a replacement for Ulster during their Pro 12 campaign, but with Paddy Jackson sidelined with an ankle injury, and following some classy performances for the Ravens and his club Belfast Harlequins, the 19-year-old is given his chance ahead of Niall O’Connor.

Olding will have plenty of experience around him, with scrum-half Ruan Pienaar on one side and Paddy Wallace on the other while Andrew Trimble and Michael Allen are on the wings.
