Ulster’s big five to miss Munster game

ULSTER will be without all five of their international squad members for Friday night’s Magners League interpro with in-form Munster at Ravenhill.

Andrew Trimble and Paddy Wallace are missing from the three-quarter line, while Rory Best, Tom Court and Stephen Ferris are absent up front.

With Ian Humphreys and Ruan Pienaar the likely half-back pair, and Ian Whitten in midfield, it will leave the hosts short on experience behind the scrum with Ballynahinch winger Nevin Spence set to be named in midfield.
