Coach Alan Solomons has made five changes to the Ulster side to meet Swansea in the Celtic League at St Helen's on Saturday afternoon.

In the forwards, Justin Fitzpatrick makes the starting line-up after an impressive cameo last Friday and Jeremy Davidson returns from injury.

David Humphreys returns to out-half. While, Adam Larkin comes in for Ryan Constable in the centre and the injured Sheldon Coulter is replaced by James Topping.

Commenting on the selection, Coach Alan Solomons said: " Swansea have a big physical presence in the back line spearheaded by Scott Gibbs and I feel the changes we have made will give us more physical presence. "

" In the front row, Justin came in for the second half of the Edinburgh game and played extremely well, so will start against Swansea, who have a strong pack and scrummage well. "

ULSTER (v Swansea): Bryn Cunningham; J Topping, J Bell (Capt), A Larkin, T Howe; D Humphreys, N Doak; J Fitzpatrick, M Sexton, R Kempson; M Blair, J Davidson; W Brosnihan, N McMillan, R Nelson. Replacements: S Best, P Shields, T McWhirter, N Best; K Campbell, R Constable, P Wallace.
