Sorry, been away for a couple of days. The extended squad was announced on Tuesday night as follows:
Ulster Head Coach, Mark Anscombe, has named an extended panel of 26 players for the Province’s final Heineken Cup Pool match against Castres Olympique on Saturday (kick off 14.35 local time / l3.35 GMT).
Ulster have already secured a spot in the quarter-finals of the competition, but Saturday’s game in France, combined with results in other pools will determine if they will have a home or away match.
It was confirmed yesterday that Number 8, Nick Williams, sustained a knee injury in the win over Glasgow last Friday night and will be on the sidelines for up to eight weeks.
Full-back Jared Payne has an ongoing groin complaint and his fitness will be monitored throughout the week.
