Caretaker Ulster coach Steve Williams has named the same starting XV who were due to play against Munster in last Friday's postponed Magners Celtic League clash for round five of the Heineken European Cup against Bourgoin at Ravenhill this Friday.

That means David Humphreys returns to outhalf, with Paul Marshall holding off Ireland international Isaac Boss at scrumhalf. Paddy Wallace will partner Andrew Trimble in the midfield, while Carlo Del Fava continues as captain, against his former club, in the absence of injured hooker Rory Best. Recent New Zealand signing Grant Webb will make his first competitive start for the province.

Ulster have one point from their opening four rounds and cannot qualify for the knockout stages, but the match does provide an opportunity to impress Eddie O'Sullivan, who announces a Six Nations squad next week, and incoming coach Matt Williams.

The Australian will not attend the match, as he flies back to Sydney today, but he has already taken a couple of squad sessions.

Williams will return at the end of the month to begin a two-and-a-half-year contract.

Meanwhile, Gavin Henson will hand Wales a Six Nations boost when he returns for the Ospreys this weekend.

The Lions star is set to face Gloucester in the European Cup tie at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday after missing five weeks.

Henson's return from a broken hand was put on hold last week after he picked up the flu.

But now the Ospreys are banking on him and midfield partner Sonny Parker, also back after knee surgery, to keep their European hopes alive against the Premiership leaders.

ULSTER:B Cunningham; T Bowe, A Trimble, P Wallace, S Danielli; D Humphreys, P Marshall; J Fitzpatrick, N Brady, D Fitzpatrick; C Del Fava (capt), R Caldwell; M McCullough, N Best, G Webb. Replacements: B Young, S Philpott, J Harrison, D Pollock, M McCrea, I Boss, N O'Connor.
