Bowe and Jackson return for Ulster

Ireland duo Tommy Bowe and Paddy Jackson return for Ulster’s trip to Blues at the Arms Park tonight.

That comes on the back of news that scrum-half Ruan Pienaar will be sidelined for up to six weeks with a medial ligament injury, according to official South African sources, which comes as good news as it was originally thought that Pienaar would be out for months rather than weeks.

Lions winger Bowe has not played since last May following groin surgery while Jackson went under the knife for a back problem which forced him to miss Ireland’s summer tour to Argentina.
