Best set for recall as Doak eyes home win

Ireland hooker Rory Best will start for Ulster when they host in-form Italian side Benetton Treviso in Friday’s RaboDirect Pro12 clash at Ravenhill.

A frustrated Best has been clicking his heels since featuring for the Lions in Australia and will get at least 40 minutes as Ulster seek their first competitive home win of the season. Coach Mark Anscombe will juggle a few positions behind the scrum with Craig Gilroy a possibility at full back with Jared Payne moving inside to partner Luke Marshall in the centre.

It is still undecided whether Tommy Bowe or Stuart Olding will feature.
