Springbok hardman Duane Vermeulen will start for Ulster in the Vodacom URC clash against the DHL Stormers in Belfast on Friday.

Vermeulen will face his former team when he pulls on the No 8 jersey at Kingspan Stadium. The veteran completes a strong back row alongside Ireland international Nick Timoney and Academy product Harry Sheridan.

Ulster make one change to the front row, with loosehead prop Eric O’Sullivan coming in alongside Tom Stewart and Jeff Toomaga-Allen. Alan O’Connor will lead the side once again, with club captain Iain Henderson in camp with the Ireland squad ahead of the 2023 Six Nations.Ulster assistant coach Jonny Bell said the province know just how big a threat the Stormers pose.

“They are going to be a very difficult animal to what we faced last week,” he told the club’s official website. “They are powerful, but move really fast around the pitch, so we need to control the ball well when we have it and make sure that we are smart defensively.”
