After his call-up to Ireland's extended Six Nations squad, there's a further boost for Ulster's Iain Henderson today - he'll make his first start of the season for Ulster against Leicester at Ravenhill tomorrow (5.30PM). 

His inclusion at blindside is one of eight changes from the side that lost in Toulon last weekend.

Internationals Tommy Bowe, Craig Gilroy, Luke Marshall and Rory Best all return to the side, while Ian Humphreys is named at out-half in place of the injured Paddy Jackson.
