Trimble preferred to Danielli for Ulster wing slot

ANDREW TRIMBLE has won the race for the left-wing berth in the Ulster team for tonight’s Heineken Cup opener against Bath at Ravenhill.

Trimble, who scored two tries against the Scarlets last week, keeps Simon Danielli’s return from injury restricted to the bench. Ireland’s Tom Court keeps his fellow international Bryan Young on the bench alongside Chris Henry who returns from injury at the expense of Thomas Anderson.

Timoci Nagusa is hoping Trimble makes an impression on Ireland coach Declan Kidney tonight, as the Fijian flyer wants to face him at the RDS in Dublin on 21 November as part of the autumn Test scene.
