Ulster head coach Dan McFarland has rung the changes for Friday night's Rainbow Cup clash against Leinster.
The province travel to the RDS Arena (8.15pm kick-off) still seeking their first win in the competition.
They opened with a 26-24 defeat to Connacht before losing 38-10 to Munster last weekend - sandwiched in between was a Challenge Cup reverse to Leicester.
Friday's starting XV sees Jacob Stockdale retain his place at full-back, and will be joined by Craig Gilroy on the left wing and Robert Baloucoune on the right.
James Hume will come in to form the midfield partnership with Stuart McCloskey, while Billy Burns and David Shanahan will take up the starting half-back berths.
Eric O’Sullivan, Rob Herring and Marty Moore all come into the starting front row, and Sam Carter will join captain, Iain Henderson in the second row. Matty Rea is named at blindside, with Sean Reidy given the nod at openside, and Nick Timoney will complete the base of the pack at Number Eight.
Academy players, Callum Reid and Nathan Doak are named among the forward and back replacements respectively. The other forward bench options are Brad Roberts, Tom O’Toole, Alan O’Connor and Greg Jones. As well as Doak, the back line reinforcements are Ian Madigan and Rob Lyttle.
