Guinness PRO14: Teams announced for Dragons v Ulster

Stuart McCloskey and Rory Best return from Ireland duty for tomorrow night’s Guinness PRO14 clash against Dragons at Rodney Parade. (KO 19:35)

Schalk van der Merwe will make his first start in the front row while John Andrew and Ross Kane retain their spots alongside the South African. Kieran Treadwell and Alan O’Connor are partners in the second row for the third match in a row and Sean Reidy is welcomed back to the back row after missing last week’s match. Greg Jones makes his first start at blindside flanker while the impressive Nick Timoney will hope to have as much joy against the Dragons as he did in September from the base of the scrum.

John Cooney is left on the bench leaving Paul Marshall to partner Christian Lealiifano who is restored to the out half berth. Stuart McCloskey returns to the centre after his exploits on the international scene while Tommy Bowe shifts to centre. Craig Gilroy swaps wings to accommodate Louis Ludik on the left and the ever-present Charles Piutau remains at fullback.
