Best, Bowe and Pienaar all return for Ulster's meeting with Leinster

Ulster welcome back Irish Internationals Rory Best, Tommy Bowe and Stuart Olding for tomorrow afternoon's meeting with Leinster at the RDS, while Ruan Pienaar also starts in a side showing four changes from last week's win against Connacht.

Captain Best slots in at hooker, with Callum Black and Wiehahn Herbst selected either side of him, while Roger Wilson is fit to start at number 8, after picking up a knock in last week's win. The remaining changes all come in the backline, with Pienaar's return relegating Paul Marshall to a spot on the bench. He starts at scrum-half with Paddy Jackson just outside him. In the centre, Stuart Olding replaces Luke Marshall to start at 12, with Darren Cave outside him, while in the back three, Tommy Bowe comes in on the wing, with Louis Ludik dropping out, and Peter Nelson switching to full-back. Ulster: P Nelson, T Bowe, D Cave, S Olding, C Gilroy, P Jackson, R Pienaar; C Black, R Best, W Herbst, D Touhy, F vd Merwe, R Diack, C Ross, R Wilson
