Coach Alan Solomons has sensationally left Ireland second row Gary Longwell out of his Ulster side, and indeed the 22-man squad, for the Celtic Cup final against Edinburgh at Murrayfield on Saturday (2.30pm).

Solomons also made another big call when he promoted Paddy Wallace to full-back for the decider. With Ryan Constable still out with an injured shoulder, Shane Stewart again fills in at centre as Paul Steinmetz’s midfield partner.
