RUGBY: Henry feels at home
ULSTER skipper Chris Henry will captain the Ireland Wolfhounds when they meet Scotland 'A' at Ravenhill.
Henry is one of a number of changes for Friday night's shadow international to come into the side following last week's Ireland 'A' defeat to England Saxons in Bath.
But coach, Michael Bradley, had no difficulty handing the man who led Ulster to their historic first win in English soil in the Heineken Cup the captaincy role.
Ulster is well represented, which gives home Provincial fans added incentive to attend tomorrow's game and show their support, not just for them, but what is an also an exciting Irish side sprinkled with international experience.
Ian Humphreys will start at outhalf and is joined in the backline by centre, Darren Cave, while up front, Ryan Caldwell starts at lock and there is an interesting selection of fellow Ulster lock, Dan Tuohy at blindside flanker in the backrow.
That role will suit the exciting Tuohy perfectly having shown his tremendous athleticism and versatility this season for Ulster.
On the bench, Nigel Brady will be keeping his fingers crossed to finally get a first 'A' start after years of waiting in the trenches, and Ed O'Donoghue will probably be a little disappointed not to have made the starting line-up having been ahead of Caldwell in the pecking order with Ulster.
Isaac Boss provides cover for Peter Stringer at outhalf, although Boss can also fit in at fullback if required.
