Johann Muller, Jared Payne and Ruan Pienaar have been named in the Ulster starting XV to face Benetton Treviso at Ravenhill tomorrow (kick off 18:00). <\/p>\n
Muller and Payne return having recovered from injury, while Pienaar is included after being rested for the match against Zebre in Italy last week.<\/p>\n
The only other change to the team that started last weekend sees Sean Doyle preferred at openside, with Mike McComish moving to the bench.<\/p>\n
Payne starts at fullback alongside Andrew Trimble and Craig Gilroy in the back three. <\/p>\n
Darren Cave and Luke Marshall continue in midfield with Pienaar partnering Paddy Jackson in the halfbacks.<\/p>\n
The game will be particularly significant for Jackson who makes his 50th appearance for Ulster.<\/p>\n
The front row is unchanged from the Zebre game with Tom Court starting at loosehead, Rob Herring continuing at hooker and John Afoa selected at tighthead. <\/p>\n
Captain, Johann Muller, returns in the second row alongside Dan Tuohy, with Sean Doyle, Roger Wilson and Robbie Diack making up the backrow.<\/p>\n
Ulster are top of Pool 5 having beaten Leicester Tigers and Montpellier.<\/p>\n
The game is live on Sky Sports 2 interactive (red button) and on BBC Radio Ulster medium-wave. <\/p>\n
