Darren Cave will captain Ulster in his final regular season PRO14 appearance of his career tomorrow against Leinster at the RDS Arena (KO 5:15pm).
The 32-year-old will lead out an Ulster side chock full of academy players, which could lead to a debut for Marcus Rea alongside his brother Matty.
David Busby is also back on the wing after returning from a long-term knee injury.
Ross Byrne starts and captains a rotation Leinster side, with Jimmy O'Brien making his first start at fullback.
Will Connors returns from a cruciate ligament injury in the back row, with Oisin Dowling in front making his first professional start.
Ryan Baird could be in line for a debut off the bench. He would be the 57th player used by Leinster and Leo Cullen this season.
Both provinces have already safely secured their passage to the playoffs.
