Following his sterling performance against the Blues last weekend, Dragons and Cross Keys fly-half Steffan has been given the nod at fullback for their clash with Ulster. In a largely unchanged side, Pat Leach replaces centre Ashley Smith who is to be rested and Dan Way comes in for Ben Castle. Props Tom Court and Declan Fitzpatrick return for Ulster and will pack down alongside skipper Rory Best in the front row. Willie Faloon suffered a shoulder injury in training and is unavailable for selection so Robbie Diack is promoted from the bench to play No.8. As a result, Pedrie Wannenburg moves to blindside flanker and Chris Henry switches to the openside flank. 
Replacements: 16 Tom Willis, 17 Hugh Gustafson, 18 Ben Castle, 19 Andrew Coombs, 20 Joe Bearman, 21 Matthew Watkins, 22 Jon Evans, 23 Mathew Jones.
Ulster: 15 Adam D'Arcy, 14 Craig Gilroy, 13 Darren Cave, 12 Nevin Spence, 11 Simon Danielli, 10 Ian Humphreys, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Robbie Diack, 7 Chris Henry, 6 Pedrie Wannenburg, 5 Dan Tuohy, 4 Johann Muller, 3 Declan Fitzpatrick, 2 Rory Best (c), 1 Tom Court.
Replacements: 16 Andy Kyriacou, 17 Paddy McAllister, 18 Jerry Cronin, 19 Tim Barker, 20 TJ Anderson, 21 Paul Marshall, 22 Ian Whitten, 23 C Gaston.
