Munster, Ulster and Leinster have announced their squads for the 2003/2004 Heineken European Cup season.

RYAN CONSTABLE is back in the Ulster side for Saturday’s win-or-bust Heineken Cup pool 6 tie in Cardiff.

Ulster will travel to Thomond Park on Friday night looking to go one better than last year when their arch rivals from Munster knocked them out of the Celtic League at the semi-final stage.

Alan Solomons named his side to face Biarritz this Saturday in the return Heineken Cup fixture with only one change from last week's line-up.

Alan Solomons' starting line-up for the 3rd round Heineken Cup tie against Biarritz features three changes from the side that defeated Glasgow in the Celtic League quarter-final last weekend.

There were no surprises on the Ulster side to travel to Glasgow for Saturday's Celtic League quarter-final at Hughendon.

ANDY WARD is back and raring to go. Ulster’s inspirational skipper returns to action for the friendly fixture with Connacht tomorrow night at Dungannon (6pm kick-off) after being out of action for three months.

Despite question marks over the fitness of David Humphreys, Jeremy Davidson and Johnny Bell, Alan Solomons has named the same side as that originally selected to play against Northampton for the Heineken Cup second round match against Cardiff at Ravenhill on Friday night (kick off 7.00pm).

Adam Larkin who wore the number 10 jersey for Ulster's two pre-season friendlies will assume the position again, in the absence of David Humphreys and Paddy Wallace against Neath this Friday.

Paddy Wallace, Tyrone Howe, David Humphreys, Gary Longwell and Simon Best will return en bloc to the Ulster side to meet Ebbw Vale on Friday night.
