Pienaar and McAllister to start for Ulster

Ruan Pienaar and Paddy McAllister have both been included in the starting team for Ulster's Heineken Cup Pool 4 match versus Aironi at Ravenhill on Friday (kick off 7.30pm).

Brian McLaughlin has recalled Pienaar at scrumhalf in place of Paul Marshall, who drops to the replacements bench. He is partnered at halfback with Ian Humphreys, and the backline remains otherwise unchanged.
