Head Coach Darren Edwards has retained the services of South African wing Tonderai Chavhanga, who completed 55 minutes in the Region’s nail biter against Bayonne on Saturday.
Following his performance for Cross Keys in the BIC last weekend, Nic Cudd rejoins the squad.
Back row Toby Faletau is set to play his last game before leaving for international duty next week with the national squad.
Last season saw honours even as both the Men of Gwent and Ulster won their respective home games. Ulster’s only victory at Rodney Parade since 2006 came on 6th May 2011, although the Ulstermen continue to set the pace at the top of the RaboDirect PRO12 table, and still possess a 100% winning record in all competitions this season. The Irish province have won five of their last six fixtures with Welsh regions and have been victorious on both their visits to Wales so far this campaign.
Tickets for the match are available from just £10 for adults and £2 for children. Call the Ticket Hotline on 01633 674975 or click here to buy online
