Matt Williams is taking nothing for granted after victory over Munster

Ulster coach Matt Williams has named a 26-man squad for Ulster's Magners League clash against Edinburgh at Murrayfield on Friday.

Williams has included all five of last Saturday's try scorers for selection for the Scottish clash, as well as man-of-the-match Ian Humphreys.

Ulster welcome back Scottish international Rob Dewey, who could face his old club, lock Ryan Caldwell, who has recovered from an ankle injury, Bryan Young and youngster Ian Whitten.

Carlo Del Fava, Cillian Willis, Simon Danielli and Bryn Cunningham have all been ruled out of due to injury.

Williams said: 'What we did against Munster was a real achievement, but every match is a clean slate and we are going into this game with as much determination and focus as we did Saturday's and that means taking nothing for granted.

'There are no guarantees in this league and Edinburgh are a strong team with pace on the ball. They have shown their skills with a win over league leaders, the Ospreys.

'This is a critical game for both sides, and we all know it will be a tough contest to the final whistle.'
