Brian McLaughlin has continued his rotation policy by bringing in six new faces for Friday’s Magners League match trip with Glasgow, kick-off 8.05pm.

Irish players Tom Court and Paddy Wallace join Scotland international Simon Danielli in the starting team as they all return from 6 Nations duty, while Rory Best takes a place on the bench.

Andrew Trimble picked up a slight quad injury playing for Ireland and is unavailable.

Paul Marshall is included at scrum-half after his cameo against the Dragons with Ruan Pienaar moving to the outhalf as a result. Conor Gaston will make his second appearance on the wing after impressing on his debut last time out.

Danielli will start at fullback which means Adam D’Arcy is named among the replacements and Wallace will play inside centre in place of Luke Marshall who will miss the rest of the season through injury.

Andi Kyriacou and Declan Fitzpatrick remain in the front row and are joined by Court. Dan Tuohy is promoted to the bench to partner captain Johann Muller in the second row.

The back row is reshuffled again with Pedrie Wannenburg named instead of Willie Faloon. Wannenburg is named at number eight; Robbie Diack moves to blindside flanker while Chris Henry takes the openside shirt.

Tommy Seymour is among the replacements, but there is no place for fellow try-scorer Darren Cave.

Ulster (v Glasgow): S Danielli; C Gaston, N Spence, P Wallace, C Gilroy; R Pienaar, P Marshall; Tom Court, A Kyriacou, D Fitzpatrick, J Muller (capt), D Tuohy, R Diack, C Henry, P Wannenburg;

Replacements (16-23): R Best, P McAllister, B Young, T Barker, W Faloon, I Whitten, T Seymour, A D’Arcy.
