Magners League: Glasgow Warriors V Ulster

Adam Larkin comes in to a 23 man squad as cover for the injured David Humphreys as Ulster look to get back to winning ways at the top of the Magners League

With David Humphreys out until the end of January at the earliest, Paddy Wallace is likely to get an extended run at 10 for Ulster. Mark McCall has also brought in Adam Larkin as cover in a 23 man squad.

Glasgow Warriors V Ulster

Hughenden 5:30 p.m. (Setanta Sports)

Referee: James Jones, Touch Judges: Peter Allan, Peter Carruthers

Adam Larkin is brought in as cover for the injured David Humphreys who is not included in the squad as he hurt his left arm in the first few minutes of Sunday’s game against Leinster at Lansdowne Road. A MRI scan has revealed a degree of bony bruising from the impact and significant soft tissue damage. However, with intensive treatment and rehabilitation there is an outside chance David could be fit for the away Magners League trip to the Ospreys at the end of January.

McCall’s men will be hoping for a win to extend the lead at the top of the Magners League table. Glasgow are currently on a good run having won 6 of their last 9 games.
