PRO12: Teams Up for Ulster v Dragons

by

, ,

The teams are up for Ulster v Dragons tomorrow night with the big news being the return of Tommy Bowe!

Bowe will start for Ulster after recovering from the leg injury that has kept him out since November.

The British and Irish Lions winger starts on the right wing and is joined in the back three by Jared Payne, who is selected at fullback, and by Ireland Under 20’s winger Rory Scholes, who makes his first senior start for the Province.

Luke Marshall and Darren Cave maintain their partnership in midfield. Paddy Jackson has been released by Ireland and starts at outhalf, with Ruan Pienaar moving back to his more familiar position at scrumhalf.

Up front Callum Black starts at loosehead, with Tom Court named on the bench. Rob Herring continues at hooker with Ricky Lutton keeping his place at tighthead.

Johann Muller captains Ulster from the second row where he is joined by Iain Henderson, who has also been released from international duty.

    Craig Gilroy has been a shadow of his former self since his return from injury, and Mike Allen hasn’t really done anything special either compared to the start of the season. Good to see Tommy back and young Scholes looked sharp on Sunday when he came on.

    1. You’re right Junty in that Gilroy and Allen’s form hasn’t been great of late but they have largely been featuring in the lesser matches and, as always, the packs performance has been lacking in most of those outings. It’s hard for a winger to shine behind a beaten pack!

      Indeed, even the sainted Tommy looked to be struggling on the odd occasion before his unfortunate injury!
