Humphreys to reach Ulster landmark

Ian Humphreys finally makes his 100th Ulster appearance tonight (7.35pm) when the Scarlets visit a sold-out Kingspan Stadium.

It was initially thought the landmark would be reached last week, but after some consultation with the record books, it is tonight that Humphreys will emulate his big brother David in becoming a centurion in his third stint at Ravenhill following spells with Leicester and London Irish.

Humphreys retains his place in a back line that sees Ireland centre Luke Marshall replace the banned Stuart McCloskey, while up front a fit-again Dan Tuohy starts at lock following a third spell out injured, this time with a broken thumb. In the back-row Clive Ross comes in for Mike McComish.
