Five debutants for Ulster’s showdown with Leinster

Ulster coach Brian McLaughlin has handed competitive debuts to five players for the RaboDirect PRO12 clash against Leinster at the RDS on Monday (kick off 5.30).

With two games in the space of just four days, McLaughlin has had to make full use of his entire squad over the festive period. Following the St Stephen's Day match in Dublin, Ulster will face Munster at a sold out Ravenhill on December 30.
