Howe on bench for unchanged Ulster

INTERNATIONAL wing Tyrone Howe returns to the Ulster squad for Saturday’s clash with Celtic League table-toppers Neath-Swansea Ospreys at Ravenhill.

However, Howe, who was involved with Ireland’s pre-season conditioning, can only find a place on the bench as coach Mark McCall keeps faith with the side that defeated Connacht last week.

It means Tommy Bowe and Andrew Maxwell are again on the flanks with Kiwi Paul Steinmetz the unlucky player to be dropped from the 22-man squad.
