Half century for Lyttle as Ulster welcome Scarlets

Rob Lyttle will make his 50th Ulster when they host the Scarlets on Friday evening in the United Rugby Championship.

The left wing will start alongside Ethan McIlroy who makes a positional switch to full-back, while Craig Gilroy comes in on the right.

Angus Curtis retains his starting berth at inside centre, and partners Ben Moxham in the Ulster midfield. Nathan Doak and Billy Burns will form the half-back pairing for the Kingspan clash (7.35pm).

John Andrew comes in to start at hooker, joining Eric O'Sullivan at loosehead and Marty Moore at tighthead prop.
