Ulster Juniors team named for Series decider

With Ulster and Leinster both having won their opening two games, Saturday’s game will serve as a series decider.

Head Coach Richard Boyd has made just one change to the team that defeated Connacht at Ards RFC last weekend.

Captain Andrew McKeen is unavailable so Coleraine’s Steven Dickey comes into the side at blindside flanker, while centre Callum Irvine will take on the role of captain.
