RICHIE MURPHY MAKES four changes as Ulster look to continue their United Rugby Championship push against struggling Scarlets on Saturday afternoon [3pm, Premier Sports & URC.tv].
Michael Lowry makes his long-awaited return at fullback in what will be his first Ulster appearance for three months following an ankle injury suffered while on international duty with Ireland XV in November.
South African winger Werner Kok is the other change in the backs, while up front, Wallabies prop Angus Bell is fit to start having missed last week’s Challenge Cup win against Stade Francais through illness.
Charlie Irvine returns to start in the second row alongside captain Iain Henderson.
