PRO14: Teams up for Dragons v Ulster

Ulster have received a boost with the availability of John Cooney and Jordi Murphy ahead of Sunday’s PRO14 clash against the Dragons.

The inclusions of Cooney and Murphy represent two of the three changes that Dan McFarland has made with the third seeing Billy Burns return from injury to replace Pete Nelson at out half.

Eric O’Sullivan, Rob Herring and Marty Moore start in the front row for the third time in a row and fifth time this season while the second row pairing of Alan O’Connor and Kieran Treadwell remains unchanged. The back row sees a reshuffle due to the selection of Murphy with Sean Reidy moving to the blindside in place of Clive Ross. Nick Timoney completes the back row formation at 8.

As mentioned, John Cooney and Billy Burns resume in their roles as halfbacks while Stuart McCloskey and Darren Cave continue in the midfield. All three outside backs scored against Zebre and will be hoping to do the same on Sunday; Rob Lyttle starts on the left wing, Robert Baloucoune starts . . .
