Marshall returns for crucial Scarlets clash

Ireland centre Luke Marshall returns to the midfield role as Ulster are forced to make three changes for their return visit to the Scarlets tomorrow.

Marshall, out since October with a medial knee injury, replaces Stuart Olding who was concussed in last week’s 24-9 bonus-point win over the Welsh side in Belfast.

Also out are Wiehahn Herbst and Nick Williams with hamstring problems. Ireland tight-head Declan Fitzpatrick comes in for Herbst while Roger Wilson moves across to number 8 to allow Clive Ross to come in openside.
