LUTTON TO CAPTAIN THE RAVENS
Ricky Lutton will captain the Ulster Ravens (sponsored by CD Group) tomorrow evening as they take on Ayr in Pool 6 of the British and Irish Cup at Deramore Park (kick off 19:30).
Coach, Allen Clarke, has made two changes to the team that suffered a 41-22 defeat to Ayr in Millbrae last weekend with David Busby and Paul Jackson called off the bench to start at wing and hooker respectively.
Busby is joined in the back three by Ricky Andrew and Peter Nelson, with the experienced Paddy Wallace joining Stuart McCloskey in midfield.
James McKinney is selected at outhalf, with Michael Heaney continuing at scrumhalf.
In the pack, Lutton is joined by Jackson, with Kyle McCall selected at loosehead.
Matthew Rea and Marc Campbell are picked in the second row, but swap numbers, with Rea starting at 4 and Campbell selected at 5.
The backrow is unchanged with Conor Joyce and Frank Taggart selected either side of Adrian Hamilton.
