Percy Montgomery and Ross Beattie make their debuts for Newport Gwent Dragons in their Heineken Cup clash against former winners Ulster at Rodney Parade on Sunday.

Full-back Montgomery, who proved a key man for Newport last season, is drafted straight in just four days after the end his six months suspension for pushing a touch judge over.

Beattie who played in an unofficial pre-season friendly for the Dragons against Harlequins, is also drafted in and will play at number eight in a key role devised by Mike Ruddock.

'Monty is a world-class player and though he hasn't played for six months the sooner we get him up to speed the better.' Ruddock said.
