Best boost as skipper returns for Ulster

ULSTER have received a massive boost with the return of skipper Simon Best ahead of their Heineken Cup opener against French giants Toulouse at Ravenhill on Saturday.

Best had been sidelined since last May, when he broke his leg in the penultimate game of the season against the Scarlets which forced him to miss Ireland’s tour Down Under in the summer.

The international prop is joined on the comeback trail by winger Tommy Bowe, who was forced to miss the last two games due to a hamstring injury.
