Mark McCall has named a 23-man Ulster squad to take on the Newport Gwent Dragons on Friday night at Ravenhill.
The Squad includes seven Ulster players who have been involved with the Irish senior team in recent weeks (Isaac Boss, Paddy Wallace, Andrew Trimble, Tommy Bowe, Neil Best, Simon Best and Bryan Young), including Isaac Boss who played for the full 80 minutes for Ireland against France on Sunday.
McCall also welcomes back Ulster favourite David Humphreys who has now fully recovered from his elbow injury.
Ryan Caldwell replaces Matt McCullough as second row cover in the squad - McCullough has had a recurrence of a toe injury which requires ongoing management.
Also missing is Mark Bartholomeusz who sustained an injury to his posterior cruciate ligament during the Ospreys game, at this stage it is estimated that Mark will be out of rugby for 6-8 weeks.
New Ulster Rugby signing Sam Harding has been included in the squad and will be hoping to make his debut in the Magners League this weekend.
Ulster are currently second place in the Magners League and will be hoping for a return to winning ways at Ravenhill.
Ulster backs: Kieran Campbell, Isaac Boss, David Humphreys, Paddy Wallace, Andrew Trimble, Paul Steinmetz, Kevin Maggs, Paul McKenzie, Bryn Cunningham, Tommy Bowe
Ulster forwards: Justin Fitzpatrick, Bryan Young, Simon Best, Paul Shields, Stuart Philpott, Justin Harrison (Captain), Tim Barker, Ryan Caldwell, Kieron Dawson, Roger Wilson, Stephen Ferris, Neil Best, Sam Harding
