Cave and Pollock drafted in for Ulster

Centre Darren Cave and openside David Pollock are the two changes to the Ulster side to play Edinburgh in the Heineken Cup at Ravenhill on Friday.

On the replacements bench, Bryan Young is named as the additional front row replacement.

Ulster coach Brian McLaughlin said: "When you're playing Edinburgh you have to realise how competitive they are, they're very aggressive around the breakdown.

"Their defence is strong, and to beat them you have to be patient, you have to hold on to the ball.

"The last two games have been very close, but we let them slip away, so from our point of view, we've got to play from first whistle to final whistle. We've got to take the opportunities when they arise."

ULSTER (v Edinburgh): Jamie Smith; Andrew Trimble, Darren Cave, Paddy Wallace, Simon Danielli; Ian Humphreys, Isaac Boss; Tom Court, Nigel Brady, BJ Botha, Dan Tuohy, Ed O'Donoghue, Stephen Ferris, David Pollock, Chris Henry (Capt).

Replacements: Andy Kyriacou, Bryan Young, Declan Fitzpatrick, Ryan Caldwell, TJ Anderson, Cillian Willis, Niall O'Connor, Timoci Nagusa.
