Fit-Again Trio Return To Ulster Squad

Fit-Again Trio Return To Ulster Squad

Ulster have named a provisional 32-man squad ahead of their RaboDirect PRO12 match against Benetton Treviso at Ravenhill this Friday (kick-off 7.05pm).

Ian Humphreys, Jared Payne and Darren Cave are all named in the squad having missed the disappointing defeat to the Dragons at the weekend. Callum Black is still ruled out with a neck injury.

Coach Brian McLaughlin is confident his side will respond to this current dip in form: “These are huge learning curves for our young players. We were in this place last year when we lost three matches after a good start to the season, so now it’s about knuckling down, getting the hard work done and making sure we come back better as a result of these hard lessons.”
