Heineken Cup team news:Ulster coach Mark McCall had the luxury of naming Paul Steinmetz and Tommy Bowe in his starting line-up ahead of the province's Heineken Cup opener against Toulouse at Ravenhill tomorrow (1.35pm).
Both have recovered from injury and take the places of Kevin Maggs and Andy Maxwell who will start from the bench. Simon Best, who broke his leg in the penultimate game of the 2005-06 season against Llanelli, also returns to the bench.
"It has been a lot of hard work for Simon (Best) but this was always his schedule, maybe a week earlier," said McCall of Best's return on the BBCwebsite today.
"Two months ago it probably did not seem possible to Simon that he would be ready for this game but he has worked extremely hard with the medical and conditioning team.
"His progress in the last month has been brilliant and we kind of held him back in the last couple of weeks, which was frustrating for him. He is delighted to be back in the mix and we are delighted to have him back."
Ulster: Bryn Cunningham; Tommy Bowe; Paul Steinmetz; Paddy Wallace; Andrew Trimble; David Humphreys; Isaac Boss; Justin Fitzpatrick; Rory Best; Bryan Young; Justin Harrison; Matt McCullough; Neil Best; Stephen Ferris; Roger Wilson
Replacements: Paul Shields; Simon Best; Tim Barker; Kieron Dawson; Kieran Campbell; Kevin Maggs; Andrew Maxwell
