Ulster head coach Dan McFarland has made four changes from last week's win over Bath for Friday night's Heineken Champions Cup clash with Clermont Auvergne in Belfast.

One of the four Ulster changes comes into the backline with Louis Ludik named on the right-wing in place of the injured Rob Lyttle.

Billy Burns, who has recently signed a two-year contract extension, will partner last week's man of the match John Cooney in the half-backs.

Elsewhere, Alan O'Connor replaces the injured Sam Carter in the second row and Sean Reidy will start at blindside flanker instead of Matthew Rea.

Ulster team: (15-9) Will Addison, Louis Ludik, Luke Marshall, Stuart McCloskey, Jacob Stockdale, Billy Burns, John Cooney.
