Brian McLaughlin has named a 32 man squad as Ulster return to action on Saturday against Treviso in the RaboDirect PRO12 (Stadio Monigo, kick off 3.15pm GMT).
After a two week break, McLaughlin is able to recall Darren Cave and captain Johann Muller to the squad after they missed a series of games through injury. Cave (foot) last featured over two months ago in the Heineken Cup win over Leicester and he will be a welcome addition to the midfield. Muller’s previous game was the following week against Clermont Auvergne, before he suffered a calf injury in training.
Ulster will be without rested internationals Rory Best, Andrew Trimble and Stephen Ferris after the trio featured heavily for Ireland in the 6 Nations. Simon Danielli is still struggling with injury and is not fit enough to be named, while Mike McComish is unavailable after suffering concussion during the Edinburgh match earlier this month. Jared Payne and Declan Fitzpatrick also remain sidelined.
