Henry leads Ulster for Italy trip

Chris Henry will captain Ulster for Friday’s Magners League game against Treviso at the Stadio Mongio. (Kick-off 7.05pm)

Paddy Wallace, who is a late release from the Irish training squad, links up with Darren Cave in the centre. Cave's partnership with Wallace means last weekend’s centre duo, Nevin Spence and Ian Whitten move to the bench.

Otherwise the back-line is the same as that which defeated Cardiff 15-37 last Sunday.

Young winger Craig Gilroy, who scored a brace of tries in Wales, retains his place on the wing and links up with Simon Danielli and Adam D’Arcy in the back three.

Up front, Bryan Young replaces Paddy McAllister in the front row while a neck injury to lock Johann Muller means that Tim Barker is called into the engine room alongside Dan Tuohy.

Robbie Diack is also on the treatment table so Chris Henry moves from openside to cover the No.8 position while Willie Faloon is drafted in on the flank.

Ulster: (v Treviso): Adam D'Arcy; Craig Gilroy, Darren Cave, Paddy Wallace, Simon Danielli; Ian Humphreys, Paul Marshall (1-8) Bryan Young, Nigel Brady, BJ Botha, Tim Barker, Dan Tuohy, Pedrie Wannenburg, Willie Faloon, Chris Henry (Captain)

Subs: Andi Kyriacou, Paddy McAllister, Jerry Cronin, Neil McComb, Ali Birch, Ian Porter, Ian Whitten, Nevin Spence
