Cave set for Ulster return

DARREN CAVE makes a welcome return to Magners League action for Ulster when they travel to face Treviso tomorrow night.

A troublesome hamstring sidelined Cave for six weeks, but with coach Brian McLaughlin having to contend with a plethora of absentees, the former Ireland centre will start alongside Ian Whitten in midfield.

With Rory Best (fractured cheekbone) and Johann Muller (neck) absent, the captaincy is passed on to Chris Henry who will start at his favoured position of number eight in the absence of Robbie Diack (ankle) with Willie Faloon starting at openside.
